monday.com Form Conditional Logic AND/OR Rules Without Enterprise

Last updated: February 19, 2026

monday.com form conditional logic exists — but it’s locked behind the Enterprise plan, operates at the section level only, and doesn’t support true AND/OR compound conditions. If you’re on a Standard or Pro plan and need form fields that show or hide based on how respondents answer earlier questions, monday.com’s native WorkForms won’t get you there without upgrading. Here’s what you’re actually working with, and what the realistic options for conditional logic without Enterprise are.

In this post:

• What monday.com offers for form conditional logic (and what plan)
• The real limitations: section-level only, no compound AND/OR, required field bugs
• What teams actually need from compound conditional logic
• How to get full AND/OR field-level control without an Enterprise plan

Quick note: If monday.com’s native tools aren’t solving this for you, BoardBridge — Form & Workflow Automation for monday.com was built specifically for this gap. Book a free 30-minute demo to see it in action.

What monday.com Offers for Form Conditional Logic

When Did monday.com Add Conditional Logic?

The community feature request for conditional logic in monday.com forms was filed on August 18, 2019 (Source). After more than six years and hundreds of votes, monday.com added conditional logic to WorkForms. However, conditional logic availability varies by plan, with restrictions on section-level visibility and compound conditions.

Note: Conditional logic is available, but with plan-specific limitations on the depth of conditions and field-level vs. section-level control.

What the Native Implementation Actually Looks Like

With monday.com’s conditional logic implementation (Source):

• Forms Pain Point #1 (Show/hide fields based on answers): Section-level visibility available. You can show or hide form sections when a specific condition is met (Source). Individual field-level visibility control varies by plan.
• Single-condition branching limitations. If you need “show this section when answer A is ‘Yes’ AND the department is ‘Operations'” (compound AND/OR), this requires additional third-party solutions.
• OR logic is supported — monday.com allows OR conditions within rules. However, true compound AND/OR logic across multiple independent conditions is limited.
• No reference to live board data. Conditional logic only evaluates what the form respondent has typed or selected. It can’t check existing board column values, mirror columns, or connected boards data in real time.

The practical result: you can build basic branching (“if they select Option A, show Section 2”), but complex compound questions require alternatives.

The Real Limitations (What Teams Keep Running Into)

Here are the four limitations that come up most often when teams try to implement real conditional logic in monday.com WorkForms.

1. No Compound AND/OR on Individual Fields

Forms Pain Point #2 (Compound AND/OR conditions): Monday.com’s conditional logic operates at the section level. If your form needs to show a specific field (not a full section) based on two conditions — for example, “show the ‘Production Budget’ field only when Event Type is ‘Show’ AND the tier is ‘Premium'” — WorkForms can’t do it.

You can work around this by building each combination into its own section, but at that point you’re maintaining a sprawling form architecture that becomes difficult to audit and update.

2. Plan-Based Feature Limitations

Forms Pain Point #3 (Conditional logic limitations by plan): Conditional logic availability and depth vary based on monday.com plan (Source). Advanced compound conditions may require higher-tier plans or alternative solutions.

If you need complex compound AND/OR conditions, verify your plan’s specific conditional logic capabilities directly with monday.com support.

3. Required Fields and Conditional Logic Interaction

Forms Pain Point #4 (Hidden required fields interaction): When a supported column type is set to “required” on the board, the form displays the question as required and cannot be hidden or used in conditional logic (Source). This creates a constraint: required fields cannot be conditionally hidden.

Teams must plan their form structure to avoid required fields that need to be conditionally hidden based on answers.

4. You Can’t Condition on Board Data

The most sophisticated conditional logic use cases involve checking existing data on the board — things like “if this vendor already has an approved status, skip the contract section” or “if the event date is in the past, show the post-event survey fields.” WorkForms conditional logic only evaluates in-form answers. It cannot reference board column values, even with Enterprise.

This forces teams to either build separate forms for each scenario, or build complex automation chains outside the form to route respondents to different versions.

What Teams Actually Need: Real Compound Conditional Logic

Here’s the kind of logic that shows up in real monday.com workflows — the kind that’s either impossible or Enterprise-only with WorkForms:

Example 1: Event type branching with team-specific fields

• If Event Type = “Show” AND Show Type = “Festival” → show the Multi-Stage Logistics section
• If Event Type = “Show” AND Show Type = “Club” → show the Single Venue section
• If Event Type = “Corporate” → skip both and show the Corporate Catering section

Example 2: Contractor onboarding with conditional compliance

• If Country = “USA” → show W-9 upload field (required)
• If Country ≠ “USA” → show W-8BEN upload field (required)
• If Employment Type = “Employee” → skip both, show I-9 section

Example 3: Intake form with tiered data collection

• If Project Budget > $50,000 → show Legal Review Required toggle
• If Project Budget ≤ $50,000 AND Department = “Marketing” → show Expedited Approval checkbox
• If Project Budget ≤ $50,000 AND Department ≠ “Marketing” → hide the approval section entirely

None of these are exotic requirements. They’re standard form logic that any dedicated form builder handles out of the box. In monday.com, building these requires Enterprise plus creative workarounds — or a third-party tool.

How to Get Full AND/OR Conditional Logic Without Enterprise

BoardBridge — Form & Workflow Automation for monday.com was built specifically to solve this category of problem. The Forms Engine includes field-level conditional logic with AND and OR operators — on any monday.com plan.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

Field-Level Visibility, Not Section-Level

Every individual field in a BoardBridge form can have its own visibility conditions. You’re not constrained to showing or hiding entire sections — you can show a single dropdown, a specific file upload, or one date field based on what the respondent has already answered.

True AND/OR Logic Per Field

Each field supports multiple conditions, with a choice of logic mode:

• AND mode: All conditions must be true for the field to appear. “Show the ‘W-9 Upload’ field if Country equals ‘USA’ AND Employment Type equals ‘Contractor’.”
• OR mode: Any single condition being true is enough. “Show the ‘Additional Notes’ field if Department equals ‘Legal’ OR Priority equals ‘Critical’.”

Five comparison operators are available: equals, not equals, contains, is empty, is not empty.

This is the compound AND/OR conditional logic that monday.com Enterprise does not offer — and it’s available on any monday.com plan through BoardBridge.

Required Fields Respect Visibility

If a field is hidden by conditional logic, it is completely skipped during validation — even if it’s marked as required. Respondents are never blocked by a field they cannot see. The same validation logic runs server-side on submission to prevent bypassing via browser tools.

This solves the problem that breaks monday.com Enterprise forms: hidden required fields no longer cause dead-end submission errors.

Pre-Fill from Board Data

When a BoardBridge form loads for a specific board item, existing column values are pre-filled into the form fields. Conditions can then reference those pre-filled values — so if a status column on the board is already set to “Approved,” the form can conditionally hide or show fields based on that value.

This gives you a form that responds to the current state of your board, not just what the respondent types.

BoardBridge handles this out of the box — no Enterprise plan required. Check out how the Forms Engine works → and see how it compares to native WorkForms conditional logic limitations →

monday.com vs BoardBridge: Form Conditional Logic Compared

Feature	monday.com WorkForms	BoardBridge Forms Engine
Conditional logic available	Enterprise only	Any monday.com plan
Granularity	Section-level	Field-level
AND logic	Limited (section-based)	✓ Full field-level AND
OR logic	Limited (within single rule)	✓ Full field-level OR
Compound AND/OR conditions	✗	✓
Required fields honor visibility	✗ (can block submission)	✓ (hidden = skipped)
Conditions reference board data	✗	✓ (via pre-fill on load)
5 comparison operators	✗	✓
No plan restriction	✗ (Enterprise only)	✓

Bottom Line

Monday.com’s form conditional logic arrived six-plus years after the community asked for it, and it’s still Enterprise-only, section-level, and missing true compound AND/OR support. If you’re on Standard or Pro and need branching logic in your forms, the native platform isn’t going to help.

For teams that need real conditional form logic — field-level visibility, compound AND conditions, compound OR conditions, hidden required fields that don’t block submission — BoardBridge provides all of it on any monday.com plan. The Forms Engine was built to handle the form scenarios that WorkForms can’t.

Need forms that actually respond to your respondents? BoardBridge by TaskRhino gives you full AND/OR conditional logic, field-level control, and form-to-existing-item updates — on any monday.com plan. Book a free 30-minute demo to see it in action.
