Custom fields, Conditional field content
Can anyone tell me, if the following is possible when using J5 Custom Fields:
In Joomla5 articles, is it possible to have make the value of a custom "list" field, determine the value of a "text area" field (conditional)
(example:
if value of listfield is "1", then the value of text area field automatically/dynamically is set to "dog"
else
if value of listfield is "2", then the value of text area field automatically/dynamically is set to "cow"
etc.
)?

Re: Custom fields, Conditional field content
A list field will do that.
Value: 1
Text,: Dog
Will store 1 and show Dog

Re: Custom fields, Conditional field content
@Per Yngve Berg, thanks - and I am aware of that
my challenge is that I want/need to show longer texts (I ask a question to my user - who chose a level (ie. 1 to 4) and is then presented with my general recommendation, related to the chosen level) - so I think the list field will be difficult to work with.
I'm exploring RegularLabs snippets - which will work in the list field, but is hard to manage, since the value of the snippet is hidden.
I'm also looking into RSforms PRO article creation plugin, but there I'll have the same problem

Re: Custom fields, Conditional field content
Since your subject line for this thread mentions "Conditional Content" try Regular Labs Conditional Content?
