Block/Hide a custom field

Hi! I am creating a project to track items across different offices. Ideally, the assignee first answers a yes or no question (thru a custom field: Does office have a workout room?).

If they answer yes, they need to fill out the rest of the custom fields. If they answer no, no further action is required. Is there a way to block/hide the custom fields from showing up in the task until the first question (custom field) is answered?

Rule Example:

When custom field is changed (Does office have a workout room?), check if custom field is “yes”, then unhide the following custom fields 1, 2, 3…etc.

Thanks!

Hi @AbigailB , this is not currently possible, sorry.

The experience you describe could be created by building a form with branching logic, available on Advanced plans and above.

If you want to create what you describe in tasks and projects, you could create a project that contains a field of each question. Once a question is answered you could have a rule that adds the task to the project that contains the field of the next question, essentially giving the sense of ‘unlocking’ it by exposing that field in the task details pane (not possible in a List view).
