    Hi Kehaulani,

    The Missing Field error in Conditions happens if the field selected was deleted. To fix this, you can simply remove the missing field in the condition. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.

    2. Next, click on Conditions on the left of the page.

    3. Now, hover your mouse over the condition and click the Pencil icon.

    4. Remove the Missing Field and click the Save button.

    Yes but when I delete it, then the logic goes away. I want to keep the logic in that 1st question. The first 2 options are for avid NASCAR fans and then the last 3 options is a different path if they are not a NASACAR fan, then we ask why not?


    Did you reveiw the previous updates we did so we are not deleting the other work the last representative did.

    Hi Kehaulani,

    The field has already been removed from your form, which is why the error appears in the conditional logic settings. You will need to remove that field from the condition to make the conditional logic work properly again. Since the field is already deleted, removing it from the logic will not cause any issues. Just review and follow the guide I have provided here.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Errors like that often appear when the form expects a field that isn’t being passed correctly from the page or the backend. I’ve run into situations where the field existed in the form builder but wasn’t mapped properly in the processing logic. Double checking field names and validation rules usually helps identify where the mismatch happens.
