# How to Show or Hide monday.com Form Fields Based on Previous Answers Canonical: https://www.taskrhino.ca/monday-com-forms/show-hide-fields/ > How monday.com WorkForms conditional questions show or hide fields based on earlier answers, where the native feature falls short, and options beyond it. Published: 2026-02-23 Updated: 2026-10-29 Author: Rakesh Patel Categories: BoardBridge **Key takeaways** - WorkForms conditional logic shows a follow-up question when a chosen option is selected. - Only single select, multi select and true/false questions can trigger it, and rules combine with OR only. - A question tied to a required board column can’t be hidden or made conditional. - The help article lists no plan restriction; check the Logic panel in your account. - For AND rules or other trigger types, BoardBridge, Fillout and SuperForm add more control. If you’ve built a monday.com form with more than a handful of questions, you’ve probably noticed the problem: everyone sees everything. A respondent selects “No, I don’t need travel arrangements” and still has to scroll past five travel-related questions that don’t apply to them. A new hire form asks about dietary restrictions even when the respondent ticked “Not attending the in-person event.” It’s a clunky experience — and it leads to confusion, incomplete submissions, and data you can’t trust. The feature you need is **conditional logic** — the ability to [show or hide form fields based on how someone answered a previous question](https://www.taskrhino.ca/monday-com-forms/conditional-logic-without-enterprise/). And monday.com does have this feature. Sort of. With some caveats that matter a lot in practice. This guide covers exactly what [monday.com’s native conditional logic](https://www.taskrhino.ca/monday-com-forms/conditional-logic-without-enterprise/) can do, where it falls short, and what your options are when the native feature doesn’t cut it. **In this post:** - What conditional logic in forms actually means - What monday.com WorkForms can do natively (and the plan requirements) - Step-by-step: setting up conditional display in WorkForms - The limitations nobody warns you about upfront - Options when native conditional logic isn’t enough - FAQ ## What “Show/Hide Fields Based on Answers” Actually Means Conditional logic (also called branching, skip logic, or display conditions) lets a form show or hide questions based on a respondent’s previous answers. The result is a form that feels shorter and more relevant — respondents only see questions that apply to their situation. A few examples of what this looks like in practice: - Question 2 asks “Will you need accommodations?” → if the answer is “No,” the next five lodging questions stay hidden - A project intake form asks “What type of request is this?” → if someone selects “Bug fix,” they see a different set of follow-up questions than if they select “New feature” - A vendor onboarding form asks “Do you have a signed NDA on file?” → if “No,” it reveals a section asking them to upload one This is standard functionality in tools like Typeform, JotForm, and Google Forms. In monday.com, it’s more complicated. ## What monday.com WorkForms Can Do Natively monday.com announced nested conditional questions for WorkForms in May 2022 ([monday.com blog](https://monday.com/blog/product/a-monday-workdoc-table-of-contents-nested-conditional-workform-questions-more/)), and its help article now documents the feature ([monday.com Help Center](https://support.monday.com/hc/en-us/articles/27989721912722-Using-conditional-logic-in-WorkForms)). Before that, every respondent saw every question, regardless of their answers. Definition **Defining question:** the single select, multi select or true/false question whose answer decides whether a follow-up question appears. The help article lists no plan restriction. It operates at the **question level**: you pick a defining question (single select, multi select or true/false) and add a follow-up question that appears when a chosen option is selected ([monday.com Help Center](https://support.monday.com/hc/en-us/articles/27989721912722-Using-conditional-logic-in-WorkForms)). Here’s what that means practically: - You can show a follow-up question based on the answer to a single select, multi select or true/false question - Only those three question types can trigger logic - Several options or rules can lead to the same follow-up question, but they combine as OR — there’s no AND logic (“show this question IF answer A equals X AND answer B equals Y”) - The logic only references form answers — it cannot branch based on existing board data or column values **Plan requirements for native conditional logic in WorkForms:** | Feature | Standard | Pro | Enterprise | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Conditional logic (follow-up questions) | No plan limit stated | No plan limit stated | No plan limit stated | | Question-level show/hide | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | AND conditions | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | | Conditional logic based on board data | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | monday.com’s help article doesn’t restrict conditional logic to a plan, so check the Logic panel in your own form builder before you look elsewhere. **Stop Creating Duplicates** BoardBridge forms update existing items — no Enterprise plan, no workarounds, no duplicates. [See It In Action](https://www.taskrhino.ca/contact-us/) ## How to Set Up Conditional Display in WorkForms TaskRhino tip Put the defining question before its follow-up: a follow-up question can only branch on answers from questions that appear earlier in the form. Here’s how to get conditional display working: 1. **Open your form builder:** Go to your board → click the form view → select “Edit Form.” 2. **Select the follow-up question:** Click the question that should only appear for some respondents — for example, “Which hotel do you prefer?” 3. **Set up the defining question:** The follow-up is driven by a single select, multi select or true/false question — for example, “Will you be attending in person?” with options “Yes” and “No.” 4. **Add the rule in the Logic panel:** Open the Logic panel, choose the defining question and the option that should reveal the follow-up. For example: “Show this question ONLY IF Question 1 equals ‘Yes’.” 5. **Preview and test:** Use the form preview to cycle through different answer combinations. Verify that follow-up questions appear and disappear as expected. Test edge cases — what happens if someone doesn’t answer the trigger question? ## What Most Guides Don’t Tell You: The Real Limitations The native feature works — but there are some important constraints that aren’t obvious until you’re already mid-build. ### Only some question types can trigger logic This is the biggest one. Only single select, multi select and true/false questions can drive logic. If you want to branch on a number, a date or a text answer, you have to add an extra choice question just to drive the logic. In practice, this pushes people to add helper questions purely for branching. That works, but it makes the form longer and the builder harder to manage. ### Required columns can’t be conditional This one catches a lot of people. A question tied to a required board column can’t be hidden or used in conditional logic ([monday.com Help Center](https://support.monday.com/hc/en-us/articles/27560733058706-Required-columns)), so a column can’t be both required on the board and conditional in the form. The workaround is to drop the board-level “required” setting for any column you want to make conditional — which means you lose that enforcement. You have to manage it manually, and it’s easy to miss. ### No AND/OR compound logic You can map several options or rules to the same follow-up question, but they combine as OR (“show this question IF answer A equals X OR Y”). You can’t set AND rules (“show this question IF answer A equals X AND answer B equals Y”). For simple branching that’s fine. For anything more nuanced — multi-path intake forms, tiered screening logic — it’s not enough. ### Plan availability isn’t spelled out monday.com’s official conditional-logic article (updated October 2026) lists no plan restriction, while some [independent plan comparisons](https://www.kickconsulting.com.au/post/monday-pro-vs-enterprise-which-monday-com-plan-do-i-need-2026-update) describe it as Enterprise-only. Check the Logic panel in your own account before you plan around it. **See How BoardBridge Handles Form Updates** Book a free demo to see BoardBridge solve this exact problem — live, with your data. [Book a Free Demo](https://www.taskrhino.ca/contact-us/) ## Going Beyond Native: Options When WorkForms Isn’t Enough If you need AND logic, branching on text, number or date answers, or logic based on board data, you’re looking at third-party solutions (see our [comparison of monday.com form alternatives](https://www.taskrhino.ca/monday-com-forms/alternatives/)). Here’s how the main options stack up: ### BoardBridge — Form & Workflow Automation for monday.com **[BoardBridge](https://www.taskrhino.ca/contact-us/)** is the option we built specifically for this problem. The Forms Engine in BoardBridge supports conditional logic on **any monday.com plan** — Standard, Pro, or Enterprise — and it works at the **field level** with AND/OR rules. Key stat 5 comparison operators in BoardBridge field conditions: equals, not equals, contains, is empty and is not empty. How it works: when building a form in BoardBridge, you set display conditions directly on each individual field. You can use AND/OR logic, choose from five comparison operators (equals, not equals, contains, is empty, is not empty), and chain multiple conditions together. A few things it handles that WorkForms doesn’t: - Show or hide a field based on any type of previous answer — not just choice questions - Compound conditions: “show this field IF answer A equals X AND answer B equals Y” - Field-level conditions on BoardBridge’s field types (including text, email, phone, number, date, dropdown and location) BoardBridge forms also [update **existing monday.com items**](https://www.taskrhino.ca/monday-com-forms/update-existing-items/) rather than creating new ones — which is a separate limitation in WorkForms — and support custom branding and four layouts (wizard, single page, tabs, accordion). **Key takeaway:** If you need compound AND/OR rules or branching on any field type, BoardBridge fills that gap on any plan. ### Fillout [Fillout](https://fillout.com/integrations/monday) integrates with monday.com and offers conditional logic on its free tier (up to 1,000 responses/month). It’s a standalone form builder rather than a native monday.com extension, which means it has its own interface and URL — not embedded in your monday.com workspace. Good for simple conditional forms when volume is low and you don’t need deep board integration. ### SuperForm by Spot-nik [SuperForm](https://spot-nik.com/product/superform/) is a monday.com marketplace form app. It offers conditional logic and supports some column types that WorkForms doesn’t. Paid plans run from $35 to $520 a month billed yearly (USD), based on monthly actions, with a free tier of 15 actions. Worth considering if you’re already using it for other reasons (like Connect Boards or Mirror column support in forms). ## Example: Vendor Onboarding Form Say a professional services team uses [monday.com forms](https://www.taskrhino.ca/monday-com-forms/) to collect information from new vendors. The form had 24 questions — but depending on vendor type, only 10–14 were ever relevant to any given vendor. The team is on Pro and hasn’t set up native conditional logic, so every vendor sees all 24 questions, and staff chase vendors for answers they left blank. Moved to BoardBridge, the onboarding form: - Asks vendor type up front (five options) - Shows only the relevant follow-up questions for each type - Uses a [“wizard” layout](https://www.taskrhino.ca/monday-com-forms/multi-page-forms/), one section at a time Since the form updates the existing vendor item (rather than creating a new one), the board stayed clean — no duplicates, no manual merging. **Need Help With Your monday.com Setup?** TaskRhino has implemented monday.com for 110+ teams.

The monday.com help article lists no plan restriction. You can show a follow-up question based on a single select, multi select or true/false answer. Rules combine with OR only; there is no AND logic natively. **Can I show or hide a single question in a monday.com form?** ### Yes. WorkForms conditional logic works per question — you add a follow-up question that appears when a chosen option of a single select, multi select or true/false question is selected. For AND rules or other trigger types, you’d need a third-party tool like BoardBridge. **Is conditional logic available on monday.com Pro?** ### monday.com’s official article lists no plan restriction for conditional logic. Check the Logic panel in your Pro form builder to confirm. **What happens to required fields inside a hidden section?** ### A question tied to a required board column can’t be hidden or used in conditional logic, so this situation can’t be configured. To make such a question conditional, remove the board-level required setting first — but this requires manual management and is easy to miss. **Can I use conditional logic in monday.com forms without Enterprise?** ### Yes. The native feature lists no plan restriction, and third-party tools add more: BoardBridge offers field-level conditional logic with AND/OR rules on any monday.com plan, and Fillout supports conditional logic on its free tier.
