Use Conditional Logic in ClickUp Forms

Conditional logic in ClickUp lets you show or hide Form questions based on how people respond, so every submission only displays fields that matter for that specific request.

This how-to guide walks you through enabling conditional logic, adding rules, and testing your Form so your team collects accurate, relevant information every time.

What Conditional Logic in ClickUp Forms Does

When you build a Form in ClickUp, you can define rules that react to answers people give. These rules control which questions appear next, making your Forms shorter and more personalized.

With conditional logic your Form can:

Ask follow-up questions only when they are relevant.
Hide entire sections for people who do not need them.
Route different submitters through different question paths.
Reduce noise on tasks created from Form responses.

Each Form question in ClickUp can have its own set of rules, and each rule can reference the answers from previous questions.

Requirements for Using ClickUp Conditional Logic

You can use conditional logic on Forms that live on any List or Folder where Forms are available in ClickUp. To follow this walkthrough you need:

Access to a Workspace with Forms enabled.
Permission to edit the List or Folder where the Form is stored.
An existing Form or the ability to create a new one.

Conditional logic is configured at the question level. You can only create rules that reference questions that appear earlier in the Form order.

Open Your ClickUp Form Builder

Start in the Form builder of ClickUp so you can add or update questions before applying any logic.

Open the Space, Folder, or List where your Form lives.
Click the Views bar and select your existing Form view, or create a new one.
Switch to the Form editing mode if the live preview is open.

You will now see the list of questions, the preview panel, and the settings that control how each answer maps to your task fields in ClickUp.

Create Questions to Power Your ClickUp Logic

Before you add rules, set up the questions that will trigger your conditional logic in ClickUp.

Add or edit the questions you want people to see first. These questions will act as conditions later.
Drag and drop questions to arrange them in the order you want them to appear.
Make sure that any question you want to use in a condition is placed before the questions you plan to show or hide.

Conditional logic in ClickUp relies on this top‑to‑bottom order, so adjusting the sequence early will save time later.

Enable Conditional Logic for a ClickUp Form Question

Each question in a ClickUp Form can have conditional logic rules. You turn this on per question.

Hover over the question that should appear only under certain conditions.
Click the question to open its settings panel on the right side.
Locate the option labeled Conditional logic or similar in the question settings.
Toggle conditional logic On for this question.

Once enabled, the question is controlled by the rules you specify. If no rule matches, the behavior of the question depends on the configuration you set in the logic builder.

Build Your First ClickUp Conditional Rule

When conditional logic is turned on for a question, you can create rules that determine when the question shows.

In the question settings panel, click Add condition or the equivalent option.
Choose the earlier question that will act as the trigger. Only previous questions are available.
Select the operator for the condition. For example, use is, is not, contains, or another operator as provided.
Enter or select the value that should match. For multiple choice questions, pick one or more of the defined options.
Set what should happen when this condition is met, typically Show this question.

Now, the current question will only appear for submitters whose answers meet the condition you defined in ClickUp.

Combine Multiple Conditions in ClickUp

Sometimes you need more complex logic that checks more than one previous answer before showing a question.

Within the same question, click to add another condition row.
Select a different earlier question as the trigger, or reuse the same one with a different operator.
Choose whether all conditions must be met (AND logic) or if any single condition is enough (OR logic), depending on the interface options provided by ClickUp.

By combining conditions this way, you can design powerful Flows inside a single ClickUp Form, guiding different types of requests in different directions.

Example: ClickUp Form Logic for Support Requests

To see how this works in practice, imagine a support intake Form in ClickUp.

Create a question called Type of request with options like Bug, Feature request, and General question.
Add a follow-up question called Steps to reproduce the bug.
Enable conditional logic on the follow-up question.
Create a condition: Show this question when Type of request is Bug.

Now, only people who select Bug will see the detailed reproduction steps question. Other submitters do not have to scroll past irrelevant fields in ClickUp.

Show or Hide ClickUp Questions Based on Answers

In addition to showing a question when conditions are met, you can also set your rules so that ClickUp hides a question when specific answers appear.

Configure a rule that says Hide this question when an earlier question equals a certain value.
Use this when some questions are mutually exclusive. For example, showing different pricing questions to different customer types.
Review the preview panel to confirm which path each answer combination will follow.

Experiment with a few variations until the Form behaves exactly how your workflow needs it to in ClickUp.

Reorder Questions Without Breaking ClickUp Logic

Because conditional rules can only reference previous questions, changing the order in ClickUp may affect how your logic works.

If you drag a trigger question lower in the Form, questions that rely on it may no longer have access to that answer.
After reordering questions, re-open each conditional question to verify that the rules still reference the correct trigger questions.
Use the preview to test all key paths through the ClickUp Form before you share it.

Keeping related questions grouped together and ordered logically will make conditional logic easier to maintain over time.

Preview and Test Your ClickUp Form Logic

Testing is essential to confirm that your conditional logic behaves as expected in ClickUp.

Open the Form preview from the builder.
Submit several test runs using different answer combinations.
Verify that each conditional question shows or hides at the right time.
Check the tasks created from your test submissions to confirm that all necessary information is captured.

Repeat this process whenever you change conditions or add new questions to your ClickUp Form.

Tips for Managing ClickUp Conditional Logic at Scale

As your Forms grow more complex, a few habits will help you keep ClickUp logic clear and reliable.

Use descriptive question titles so you can recognize them easily when building rules.
Limit the number of nested conditions per question to keep behavior predictable.
Document your logic paths for long or critical ClickUp Forms used across teams.
Periodically review performance: make sure submitters are not abandoning Forms due to confusion.
