Conditional logic demo

Each question below is labelled with the rule that controls it. Open this form in the builder to see how the rules are written.

Rule: show a field when the answer is Yes.

Rule: a different field for each choice.

Rule: make a field required only when it matters.

3 questions are hidden by conditional logic right now — change an answer above to reveal them.

What happens after submit: nothing is stored in this preview. On your own copy, every response triggers an instant email notification and lands in your response dashboard, ready to export or forward.

Happy with it? Take a copy into your workspace — every question, rule and setting comes with it.

Who this template is for

Conditional Logic Demo Form is built for engineering, IT and product teams who need to route technical requests with the context needed to triage them.

  • Engineering, IT and product teams working in technology, saas & dev.
  • Teams who need to route technical requests with the context needed to triage them without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing vague reports that can't be reproduced or prioritised with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are users, testers and internal stakeholders — the form asks them 18 questions across 4 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of vague reports that can't be reproduced or prioritised and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 5 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It scores satisfaction on a consistent scale.
  • It captures a full postal address.
  • It allows multiple selections without free text.
  • It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
  • Conditional logic hides 6 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 4 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

How to use this template

From copy to live form is a few minutes of work, and every step is reversible.

  1. 1Press “Use this template” — a fresh copy of Conditional Logic Demo Form lands in your workspace, ready to edit.
  2. 2Rename or delete any question, and change what is required. Nothing here is fixed.
  3. 3Open Notifications and add the email addresses that should be alerted on each submission; add an auto-reply to the respondent if the form collects an email address.
  4. 4Publish it, then either share the link directly or paste the embed snippet into your site — the embedded form resizes to fit and loads no marketing or advertising trackers.
  5. 5Watch responses land in Submissions, where you can filter, label and export them to CSV or PDF.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 6 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Do you want to see a follow-up question?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Here is the follow-up question”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Which path applies to you?” is Business, the form dynamically exposes “Company name”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Which path applies to you?” is Personal, the form dynamically exposes “Home address”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Would you like to be contacted?” is Yes, “Email address” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional hiding: if “Is this still relevant to you?” is No, “This field disappears when you answer No” is removed from the form and is never submitted.
  • Features skip logic: if “Choose a route” is Short version, respondents jump straight to “The detail page” and skip everything in between.
  • All 6 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

Conditional logic is easier to understand from a form that already does it than from a description. This template is a working sandbox with every rule type wired up and labelled. The first page demonstrates the simplest case: a yes/no question that shows a follow-up field, and a multiple-choice question that shows a different field for each answer. It then shows conditional requirement — a field that is optional most of the time and becomes mandatory when the answer implies it — which is the rule people most often get backwards. The second page demonstrates hide rules, where a field is visible by default and disappears once it stops being relevant, and combination rules where two answers together control one field. The third page demonstrates page skipping: choose the short path and the detail page is skipped entirely, choose the long one and it appears. Every question is labelled with the rule that drives it, so you can open the builder side by side, see how each rule is written in field-label terms, and copy the pattern into your own form instead of guessing.

What this form asks

Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.

How the form changes as it's filled in

This template ships with 6 conditional rules, grouped into 6 behaviours driven by 5 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.

Driven by “Do you want to see a follow-up question?

  • Reveals questions

    If “Do you want to see a follow-up question?” is Yes, the form reveals “Here is the follow-up question”.

Driven by “Which path applies to you?

  • Reveals questions

    If “Which path applies to you?” is Business, the form reveals “Company name”.

  • Reveals questions

    If “Which path applies to you?” is Personal, the form reveals “Home address”.

Driven by “Would you like to be contacted?

  • Makes answers required

    If “Would you like to be contacted?” is Yes, “Email address” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Driven by “Is this still relevant to you?

  • Hides questions

    If “Is this still relevant to you?” is No, the form hides “This field disappears when you answer No”, so nobody answers questions that don't apply.

Driven by “Choose a route

  • Skips ahead

    If “Choose a route” is Short version, the form skips “The detail page” entirely.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Open it in the builder

    Create the form, then open the logic panel and read each rule next to the question it controls.

  2. 2

    Break it on purpose

    Change a condition and preview again. Watching a rule misfire teaches the order of evaluation faster than reading about it.

  3. 3

    Use the simulator

    Pick sample answers in the logic simulator to see exactly which rules fire without submitting anything.

  4. 4

    Copy the pattern, not the form

    Rebuild the two or three rules you need in your real form rather than editing this one down.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Making a hidden field required, so the form cannot be submitted and nobody can see why.
  • Writing two rules that contradict each other on the same field.
  • Skipping a page that contains a required question, which strands the submission.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

What to do with the responses

Rebuild the rules you need in your real form, then run the simulator once more before publishing.

Frequently asked questions

Do hidden fields still get submitted?

No. A field hidden by a rule is not submitted, which is why a hidden required field blocks the form rather than filling itself in.

Can one field be controlled by two answers?

Yes — the combine example on page two shows a field driven by a category and an urgency answer together.

Does skip logic work in the card layout?

Yes. In the card layout each question is its own screen, so a skip rule simply moves the respondent past the skipped screens.

Can rules depend on a value passed in the URL?

Yes. Add a hidden field, populate it from a URL parameter, and write rules against it exactly as you would a visible answer.

Is the Conditional Logic Demo Form template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Conditional Logic Demo Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What does the Conditional Logic Demo Form template ask for?

It asks 18 questions across 4 pages, 5 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.

Can I edit the Conditional Logic Demo Form form after copying it?

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

How does the conditional logic in this technology, saas & dev form work?

6 conditional rules ship with the template: Features advanced show logic: if “Do you want to see a follow-up question?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Here is the follow-up question”. Otherwise that question never appears. Features advanced show logic: if “Which path applies to you?” is Business, the form dynamically exposes “Company name”. Otherwise that question never appears. Features advanced show logic: if “Which path applies to you?” is Personal, the form dynamically exposes “Home address”. Otherwise that question never appears. All rules are editable in the Logic tab.

Where do responses to the Conditional Logic Demo Form form go?

Can I embed the Conditional Logic Demo Form form on my own website?

Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.
