    Hi,
    My situation , i have one custom category called Category that i populated via custom post plugin. Then i have another custom field call Size. I want to display Size based on custom category that will be selected, but the conditional field for Size does not display Category value.

    So, i am stuck how to do this conditional.

    Thank you

  2. Currently conditional logic does not work with the Post Category drop down field as a trigger because the categories in that field are dynamically populated and not static values. The values for the drop down are populated when the form is displayed, unlike standard Drop Downs where you enter static values.

    I'm having the same problem. Is there a workaround for this issue?.

    Thanks

  4. Conditional Logic cannot be applied on Post Category fields because they are populated dynamically and do not contain static values as I explained above. It is working as designed, it's not a bug or an issue. It's just not a supported feature at this time.

    The only workaround is to use a standard Drop down field for the list of categories and then to use some custom PHP to set the Post Category dynamically using code based on that drop down value. This would be a customization and would require custom code be written.
