Agriculture Design System: Conditionally revealed form content
Documents conditional reveal guidance for radios, checkboxes, and selects; recommends limiting revealed content to one related set of questions or information, placing it under the initial input, using another page for complete forms or submit actions, and avoiding unrelated revealed content.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conditional reveal fields | Choose conditional reveal fields when one option needs a short, directly related follow-up field in the same local context. | Selecting the trigger shows the related field immediately under that trigger. | Agriculture Design System guidance supports limiting reveals to directly related questions under the triggering control and avoiding complete revealed forms. |
| Required field hidden by conditional logic | Flag this anti-pattern when a required field can block submit while it is hidden, collapsed, disabled, off-screen, absent from the current route, or disconnected from its trigger. | Selecting a trigger that creates a required follow-up reveals that follow-up immediately in logical DOM and visual order. | Agriculture Design System supports limiting conditional reveals to related questions and using another page for larger branches. |
