Hi.
I want to set up a few conditional rules on my user profiles custom fields, but have some hard time:
1) what is the output from a boolean field if I want to use it as a trigger for the rule ( tried with TRUE / FALSE and YES / NO, but doesn't work)?
2) an existing autocomplete custom field doesn't show up in the SELECT FIELD drop-down menu (in the Conditional Rules section) - is there some field property, which is determinating his ability to trigger other fields conditional rules?
Hi Viktor,

1) For the boolean field, the values are 1 - Yes, 0 - No.

2) Only certain fields can be used for conditional fields, not all fields.

Thank you, Raymond !

Can the AUTOCOPLETE fields be used for conditioning ?

How can we know - is sertain type of fields usable for conditioning or not ? Is there any section in the documentation where are listed the fields who are capable and who are not ? ( I couldn't find anything)

Hey Viktor,

Autocomplete cannot be used for conditional fields.

The following fields are supported:
Email
Gender
Boolean
Checkbox
Country
Textarea
Textbox
Dropdown
Multilist
Mutlidropdown
Multitextbox
Is there any section in the documentation where are listed the fields who are capable and who are not ?
Looks like we do not have a documentation for this yet. Thanks for reporting, will report this.

Hey Raymond, thank you for the clarification!

Please, consider making AUTOCOMPLETE fields usable too ( it's a shame they are not )!
If it is not possible or you don't want to add it to your roadmap - please, add to your documentation also what are the technical requirements and restrictions if we have to develop by ourselves custom fields capable of conditioning other fields.

Best regards,
Viktor

Hey Viktor,

Yes we will consider adding autocomplete field into the list of supported conditional fields.

Unfortunately, a developer documentation is not possible since the implementation is not straight forward and involves hacking the core files.

Modifying core files are discouraged since the changes will be lost on new updates.

We will slowly add more support to other fields in the future.
