    is there a cascade order to conditions?

    I had things working well, and then added another condition at the top, and it seems to now be overriding the original conditions i had set.

    Hi ElevateTheArts,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Conditions do not follow a strict top-to-bottom cascade. Each condition is evaluated independently based on its own logic. If you added a new condition at the top and it appears to override your original ones, this usually means its criteria conflict with or take precedence over the others when they are met. As a result, it can seem like the earlier conditions are being ignored.

    To avoid this, review your conditions carefully and make sure they do not overlap or contradict each other. Testing how the conditions interact is also important, especially when they affect the same fields, as conflicting logic can lead to unexpected behavior.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
