# Conditional Fields
Sometimes, you may want a field to be visible in an instance only if a certain condition is met. To create a conditional field, you must first assign a value to the field to which you want to apply a condition. Next, you need to create the condition that will determine the visibility of the field. Finally, you can add the conditional field in the container included below the condition.

TIP
Conditions can be collapsed or expanded by clicking on the IF
button with a right arrow next to it.
