Trello vs monday.com [2026]: Which Project Management Tool Is Right for Your Team?

Show a field only when three conditions are all true. Or when any one of five conditions is met.

Can you use compound AND/OR conditions in monday.com forms? monday.com WorkForms added conditional logic in late 2025, with availability varying by plan. Compound AND/OR logic (show this section if Answer A = “Yes” AND Answer B = “External Client”) has limitations in native WorkForms. Conditional logic depth and field-level control availability depend on your plan.

BoardBridge — Form & Workflow Automation for monday.com — gives you full AND/OR conditional logic on any monday.com plan, with five comparison operators and field-level control.

Why monday.com Forms Have Limited Conditional Logic

Pain Point #24: Need compound conditions (IF answer A = “Yes” AND answer B = “External” THEN show Section 3)

WorkForms’ conditional logic has the following characteristics (Source):

• Section-level visibility: You can show/hide form sections based on conditions
• Plan-based limitations: Compound AND/OR logic and field-level control availability vary by plan
• Single conditions per rule: Basic branching on single conditions is supported
• Plan verification needed: Check your specific plan’s conditional logic capabilities with monday.com

This breaks down fast in real forms:

• Event intake: Show the “Teebox Details” section only if Event Type = “Teebox” AND Confirmed = “Yes”
• Project requests: Show the “External Vendor” fields if Client Type = “External” OR Budget > $10,000
• Support forms: Display escalation options if Priority = “High” OR Issue Type = “Bug” OR Customer Tier = “Enterprise”

What the Community Says

Conditional logic feature requests have been ongoing for years (Source). The depth of conditional logic available depends on your monday.com plan.

From the forums:

September 2023:

“Advanced options for forms with conditionals/branch questions so that perspective clients can be asked only questions relevant to their custom order.” — Community thread: Adding conditionals and branch questions to forms

January 2023:

“Workforms offers conditional formatting (ie. if a certain answer is chosen, show/hide related questions), but is missing other key features I need. I’ve been using Superforms which does not have conditional formatting but has more flexibility overall.” — Conditional Formatting on Forms

June 2024 (Most Recent):

“On my Form, I have a field that has conditions under it. In this case I want the 2 conditional questions to be required if the answer to the first question is ‘Yes’. Is that possible?” — Forms – Making fields required based on conditional question answers

Community consensus: Even 5+ years after the feature request was opened, monday.com has not implemented compound AND/OR logic in WorkForms. Users are forced to either simplify their forms or move to third-party alternatives.

Even Enterprise customers only get section-level conditional display — not field-level — and no compound AND/OR operators.

New in 2024: Data Validations with AND/OR (Column-Level, Not Form-Level)

Monday.com added Data Validations in late 2024, which support AND/OR logic for column-level validation rules:

“For conditional validations using ‘and/or’ logic (for example, ‘If Status is Live, then Checkbox must be selected, and Number>100’), deleting one of the ‘then’ columns keeps only the remaining condition active.” — monday.com Data Validations Documentation

Important: Data Validations are column-level rules, not form-level conditional display. They validate data after it’s entered but don’t show/hide form fields based on previous answers. This doesn’t solve the compound form conditional logic gap.

What competitors offer:

• Fillout: “powerful hiding and validation logic” with multi-condition branching on all plans (free up to 1,000 submissions). Full AND/OR support at form field level.
• SuperForm: “unlimited branches” with compound conditions — from $35/month, any monday.com plan. Handles complex multi-field conditional logic.
• Typeform, JotForm: Full conditional logic with AND/OR branching on all plans.
• Formstack, HubSpot Forms: Enterprise-grade conditional logic with nested AND/OR rules.

How BoardBridge Handles monday.com Form Compound Conditions

Every field in a BoardBridge form can have multiple conditions combined with either AND or OR logic. Each condition uses one of five comparison operators.

The Five Comparison Types

1. equals: Field value exactly matches the comparison value

Example: Event Type equals "Show + Teebox" → true only if user selected “Show + Teebox”

1. not_equals: Field value does NOT match the comparison value

Example: Client Type not_equals "Internal" → true for External, Partner, or any other value except Internal

1. contains: Field value includes the comparison text (case-insensitive partial match)

Example: Venue contains "Stadium" → matches “MetLife Stadium”, “stadium parking”, “Yankee Stadium”

1. is_empty: Field has no value (blank, null, or unselected)

Example: Budget is_empty → true if the user hasn’t filled in the Budget field yet

1. is_not_empty: Field has any value (not blank)

Example: Email is_not_empty → true if user entered anything in the Email field

These operators work across all 10 field types BoardBridge supports: text, long text, email, phone, number, date, dropdown, status, checkbox, and location.

AND Logic: All Conditions Must Be True

When you set a field’s condition logic to AND, the field only shows when every condition is met.

Example: Production Section Fields

Show the “Load-In Time” field only when:

• Event Type equals “Show + Teebox” (production is needed)
• AND Venue Type equals “Outdoor” (load-in timing is critical for outdoor)
• AND Confirmed equals “Yes” (don’t ask until event is confirmed)

If any one of these is false, the field stays hidden.

OR Logic: Any Condition Can Be True

When you set a field’s condition logic to OR, the field shows if at least one condition is met.

Example: Escalation Contact Field

Show the “Escalation Contact” field if:

• Priority equals “High”
• OR Issue Type equals “Bug”
• OR Customer Tier equals “Enterprise”

If the user selects High priority, the field appears — even if it’s not a bug and the customer is on a Standard plan. Any one condition passing is enough.

Combining Multiple Conditions on One Field

Each field supports an array of conditions — you can add as many as needed. All conditions in the array are evaluated using the same logic operator (AND or OR).

Example: Golf-Specific Questions

A 48-question event intake form includes golf-related fields (Teebox Time, Golf Format, Number of Holes). These fields should only appear for golf events.

Configuration:

• Field: “Teebox Time”
• Conditions:

1. Event Type contains “Teebox”
2. OR Event Type equals “Show + Teebox”

• Logic: OR
• Result: Field appears if Event Type is “Teebox” or “Show + Teebox”, hidden otherwise

The form evaluates this in real time as the user makes selections. Select “Show + Teebox” from the Event Type dropdown → Teebox Time field appears instantly.

How It Works

BoardBridge evaluates conditions client-side (in the browser) as the user fills out the form. When a field changes:

1. The form checks which fields have conditions that reference the changed field
2. For each dependent field, it evaluates all conditions:

• AND logic: Use JavaScript Array.every() — all conditions must return true
• OR logic: Use JavaScript Array.some() — at least one condition must return true

1. If the result is true, the field is visible. If false, the field is hidden and excluded from validation.
2. Server-side validation runs the same logic again on submission to prevent tampering. Hidden fields are completely skipped — they don’t block submission even if marked required.

Pre-Fill + Conditional Logic

When you send a form link with an item ID (to update an existing monday.com item), BoardBridge pre-fills the form with existing column values. Conditional logic evaluates against these pre-filled values.

Example: An event already has Event Type = “Show + Teebox” saved on the board. When the client opens the form to update their details, the Teebox fields are already visible because the pre-filled Event Type value triggers the conditions.

This creates a smooth update experience — the form adapts to what’s already in monday.com, showing only relevant fields.

Real-World Scenario: Multi-Format Event Form

A client manages four event formats: Show-only, Teebox-only, Show + Teebox, and Corporate. Each format has different required info.

Without compound logic (monday.com WorkForms):

Option 1: Create four separate forms — one per format. Users have to pick the right form upfront, and if the format changes later, they fill out a new form.

Option 2: Show all fields to everyone. The form is 80+ questions long, and most questions don’t apply to the user’s event type. Terrible UX.

With BoardBridge AND/OR logic:

One 48-question form with conditional sections:

• Show-only fields (stage dimensions, sound check time): Show if Event Type equals “Show” OR “Show + Teebox”
• Teebox-only fields (golf format, number of holes): Show if Event Type equals “Teebox” OR “Show + Teebox”
• Corporate fields (meeting room setup, A/V equipment): Show if Event Type equals “Corporate”
• Advanced logistics fields (overnight lodging, travel details): Show if Event Type equals “Show + Teebox” AND Overnight equals “Yes”

Result: Users only see 15-25 questions depending on their selections. The form feels fast and relevant. All data still writes to the same monday.com board.

Why This Beats Native WorkForms for Compound Conditional Logic

Feature	monday.com WorkForms	BoardBridge
Conditional logic available	Enterprise-only	✓ All plans (Standard, Pro, Enterprise)
Granularity	Section-level only	✓ Field-level control
Compound conditions (AND/OR)	Not supported	✓ Full AND/OR operators
Number of conditions per field	1 (single condition only)	✓ Unlimited (array of conditions)
Comparison operators	Basic equals	✓ 5 operators: equals, not_equals, contains, is_empty, is_not_empty
Real-time evaluation	Yes (Enterprise)	✓ Yes (client-side + server-side validation)
Works with form pre-fill	Yes (Enterprise)	✓ Yes (evaluates against pre-filled values)

How to Set It Up

1. Create a form in BoardBridge.
2. Add your fields — include fields that should be conditionally displayed.
3. Configure conditions on any field:

• Click the field settings
• Add a condition: select the field to check, operator (equals, contains, etc.), and value
• Add more conditions if needed
• Choose logic type: AND (all must be true) or OR (any can be true)

1. Test in preview mode — BoardBridge’s form preview shows how conditions behave as you fill it out.
2. Publish and send the form link.

When users fill out the form, fields appear and disappear based on their answers. Hidden fields are excluded from validation and submission — they won’t block the form even if marked required.
