Advanced Mode Display Logic

I have been trouble shooting and researching with no luck. Hopefully one of you can help. 

 

I’m trying to create advanced mode logic for a form with many involved fields. 

An easy example is:
Custom form question “How many segments do you need?” with dropdown answers of 1,2,3,4,…

I’m trying to add logic, so that if someone selects 4 segments, the form will show sections 1,2,3 and 4.
I’ve tried many variations of the below. Now from what I’ve found it seems like maybe I can’t use OR statements in the advanced logic.

IF({DE:How many segments do you need?}="1" OR {DE:How many segments do you need?}="2" OR {DE:How many segments do you need?}="3" OR {DE:How many segments do you need?}="4"

Anyone?

    Hey ​@CherylLu, you would not do that with custom logic, you can easily achieve that with display logic. 

     

    First create a form with as many sections as needed.

     

    Then just apply display logic to it like this:

     

    You will need to increase the selection on each new section. E.g. section 5 would have many display logic rules to show on all kind of user answers (e.g. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9..). Hope this helps. 😎

    Thanks. That’s how I’ve done it in the past. I was just thinking I could find a much quicker way to do it.

    If you are on Workflow Prime, you can try using advanced display logic with formulas (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/administration-and-setup/customize/custom-forms/design-a-form/display-skip-logic-form-designer). 

     

    In that case something like IF({DE:How many segments do you need?}="1" would probably work but yeah, you cannot use OR statements in formulas. You can nest multiple IF statements but to be honest I think this might be more complicated then just using the “standard” display logic to show fields. 😀  And I do understand how frustrating can it be when you have to apply the same logic all over again to XY fields.. your hands just get tired of it at some point. 😅
