It is a feature we will be introducing in the future. </p> <p>We have to be very careful with introducing functionality to conditional logic, it's extremely complex and when supporting a plugin that is being used by so many sites we have to be very careful with making core changes to major pieces of functionality such as this.</p> <p>We have been making minor changes, adjustments and enhancements to conditional logic with each of the last few releases and will continue to do so in the future with new functionality being added on an ongoing basis a little at a time. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/conditional-logic-and-blank-field#post-59011 Tue, 15 May 2012 12:38:07 +0000 darrylschmidt 59011@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have used applications in the past (like....yesterday) that require you to enter "BLANK" (all caps, without quotes) in order to test for an empty field. That ensures that you actually mean to test for an empty field and didn't just leave it empty in error. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/conditional-logic-and-blank-field#post-58957 Tue, 15 May 2012 07:27:16 +0000 tcs 58957@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes please for me too. I have a similar scenario to that described. Checking for null or blank strikes me as very useful. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/conditional-logic-and-blank-field#post-58955 Tue, 15 May 2012 05:14:34 +0000 STB 58955@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@David</p> <p>Please also have a look at this thread:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/conditional-logic-if-previous-field-is-not-empty-then-show-this-field" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/conditional-logic-if-previous-field-is-not-empty-then-show-this-field</a></p> <p>It shows that lots more people would like to be able to test against "blank/not empty" field in condional forms. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/conditional-logic-and-blank-field#post-58933 Mon, 14 May 2012 18:54:14 +0000 David Peralty 58933@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We currently don't discuss development timelines or what is or isn't included as it has been more troublesome than helpful. </p> <p>I will pass it on to the developers to let them know that someone would like it to exist. As far as I have seen since starting work here, no one else has needed to compare against nothing for conditional fields, but we are always looking for simplistic things to add to Gravity Forms. </p> <p>Maybe some null/blank keyword would be more effective, as we probably don't want some users forgetting to enter a comparison and then thinking that things are broken or not working as they expect. What do you think? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/conditional-logic-and-blank-field#post-58926 Mon, 14 May 2012 17:58:22 +0000 darrylschmidt 58926@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>that's very strange. I would have thought that testing for a blank field would have been #1 on the list.

You will want to just make those fields required and then they won't be processed until people properly enter data into both rather than hiding the submit button. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/conditional-logic-and-blank-field#post-58765 Sat, 12 May 2012 16:31:11 +0000 darrylschmidt 58765@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am trying to test to see if either of two fields is not blank.</p> <p>In my form I have an email and phone number field.
