This section describes how to add and manage rules for form fields using the provided interface. Rules allow you to create conditional logic for the behavior of form fields.

Steps to Add Rules

1. Navigate to the Rules Section

Use the "+" and "-" buttons to add or remove additional conditions.


4. Define the THEN Action

The THEN action specifies what happens when the IF condition is met.

  • Select Status: Define the action status, such as enabling or disabling a field.
  • Result Field: Select the field(s) affected by the action.
