    Hi BGSMERP,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can absolutely set multiple conditions for this flow using the Show/Hide Field condition. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, select your 4th question and click on the Conditional Logic icon.
    2. Now, in the Conditions, hover over the condition and click on the Pencil icon. Conditional logic to Show/Hide field based on the answer Screenshot 80

    Now, for the 2nd condition:

    1. Next, select your 5th question and click on the Conditional Logic icon.
    2. In the Conditions, hover over the condition and click on the Pencil icon. Conditional logic to Show/Hide field based on the answer Screenshot 102

    I think I did it exactly how you showed me but when I click no for #4 and yes for #5 it skips #11 and I want it to show up can you see what I did wrong?

    Hi BGSMERP,

    If question 11 is still being skipped when you select, No for question 4 and, Yes for question 5, it usually means the conditions for showing and hiding question 11 are conflicting or not set up in the correct order. You should set question 11 to be hidden by default and then create a separate condition to show it based on your specific requirements.

    Additionally, it's important to have a separate condition for each question with different answers but leading to the same outcome, rather than having one condition that covers two different questions and answers with the same result. This approach ensures that each condition works independently and avoids conflicts that might cause question 11 to be skipped unexpectedly. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, go to your Questions 9-11, and then click on its Gear icon.

    2. In Properties panel, go to Advanced tab.

    3. Toggle on the Hide field feature to On.

    4. Next, go to Settings from the top navigation.

    5. Click on Conditions from the left, and then click on Add Condition.

    6. Select Show/Hide Field from the options.
