Change Fields

A “Change field” block lets you conditionally modify the settings of a target field. Make a field required only when a certain answer is selected, change the maximum file count based on the respondent’s role, or adjust default values dynamically.

Change-field blocks are typically placed inside a condition — the condition determines when the changes apply. For settings that should always apply, use the field’s built-in settings instead.

Adding a change-field block

• Select Change field from the insert menu (or type /override), or
• Select Require field for a shortcut that pre-enables the required setting (or type /require)

Choosing a target field

Select the target field from the dropdown. It shows fields below the current position — this ensures changes are set up before the respondent reaches the field. A change-field block can target a field on a later page.

Changing settings

The available settings depend on the target field type — the same settings you see in the field’s own settings menu. Each setting has an enable/disable toggle — disabled settings keep the field’s built-in value.

Multiple change-field blocks for the same field

When multiple active change-field blocks target the same field, their settings merge. If two blocks change the same setting, the one further down in the document wins.

Tips

• Use /require for the most common case — conditionally making a field required
• Change-field blocks show a collapsed summary by default (like Change phone → required). Click to expand and see all settings.
• You can combine change-field blocks with different conditions to create complex rules — for example, make a field required in one scenario and change its default value in another
