Conditional questions and branching in SharePoint lists


I have a Sharepoint list with a list of yes/no questions. I want to make some questions conditional on another question being selected. So if Question A is Yes then Question B is required (if No then not required or, if possible, greyed out). Basically, I want to recreate the branching you get in Microsoft Forms where a question appears depending on whether another is selected.

Is that possible in SharePoint lists?


Solution

  • Yes, it's possible!

    After creating the list structure with yours questions and choices Yes/No, click on the New button to display the form. On the top right, click on Edit column

    Edit columns

    Next, select your column Question2 and click on Edit conditional formula

    Edit conditional formula

    Enter the following formula to display Question2 only if Question1 equals to Yes:

    =if([$Question1] == 'Yes', 'true', 'false')
    

    Formula

    So, now, when entering the form, Question2 is hidden.

    Question2 hidden

    If you select No, Question2 is still hidden.

    Question2 still hidden

    If you select Yes, Question2 is displayed!

    Question2 is visible
