Branch & field conditions

Branch and Add condition mean: this question owns follow-up behavior. You do not drag an If / Else card from the Logic sidebar. Stay on a normal field (Select, Multiple choice, …) and either:

• use Branch (choice answers → show follow-ups / go to page), or
• use Add condition (or Edit as When → Then) for the full When → Then editor under the same field

For the big picture (Branch vs Rules vs Calculated), see How logic works.

When to use Branch vs Rules

Prefer Branch for ~90% of “if they pick X, show Y / jump” cases.

​

Non-choice fields (Show if)

Branch is for choice / select / radio answers. On text, number, email, and other non-choice fields, use Show this field if… on the target field:

1. Select the field that should appear conditionally.
2. In the field chrome, click the workflow icon (Show if…).
3. Pick the source field, operator, and value.
4. Studio compiles a Show blocks rule (inverted attachment — logic lives as a Rules entry that reveals this field).

Need full When → Then under the same field? Click the icon again for Edit as When → Then, or use the link under the card. Switch back with Use Show if…. Selecting a field alone does not open logic — only the chrome workflow icon does.

When Company is not empty → Show blocks Invoice address
When Budget greater than or equal 1000 → Show + Require Phone

Same engine as Branch — only the Studio chrome differs.

Branch on a choice field

If the recipe is too complex for Branch, Studio shows the When → Then editor under the field automatically. On a Branch field you can still switch: Edit as When → Then (or the field chrome workflow icon — tooltip says Edit as When → Then while Branch is open), then Use Branch to go back. The same chrome icon is context-aware and is the only way to open under-field logic:

Advanced: When → Then under the field

Operator & action tips

• Open the field-type → operator matrix when an operator is missing.
• Blank parent answers do not trigger equals or not equals — use Is empty.
• Hide blocks clears answers.
• Conflict chips appear when rules fight — fix before publish.
• Deleting a follow-up field scrubs Branch / Rules references automatically.

Worked recipes

​

Other → specify (classic)

1. Multiple choice includes option Other.
2. Short text “Please specify”.
3. On the choice: Branch → Other → Show follow-up “Please specify”.
4. Optional: in Rules, Require that field when Other is selected.

​

Checkbox unlocks phone

When “Call me back” equals Yes → Show + Require Phone
(Add condition or Rules — same engine)

​

Empty company hides invoice block

When Company is empty → Hide Invoice address
