Allow for conditional logic on application form questions (outside of candidate custom fields)

It would be great to be able to be able to add a conditional logic block to existing content blocks within the application form. The immediate use case I currently have is the financial aid question block. It would be very helpful to be able to attach a conditional logic block so that if a family answers that they are applying for financial aid, additional content/questions could be displayed based on their answer. This potential feature would certainly be able to be utilized in many other areas within the application form (questions only displayed if a candidate is applying for a certain school level/grade, if they answered yes to a given interest, if the family lives in a specific town, etc.)

    I believe one of the first Ideas posted about conditional formatting was around 2015. After a quick seach I have found additional Ideas with the same premiss (listed below); we need conditional formatting options on forms, applications, contracts, etc. If you vote for this Idea, please vote for all of these other Ideas from the past. Better yet could someone at BB combine them and start considering implementation. PLEASE!!!


    Sept. 2015 K12OB-I-489 (marked implemented BUT only works for a custom question and there are many other fields in an application that needs the ability to use conditional formating. So is is really implemented? - 65 votes at the time of implementation)

    If you find others, please post them here so we can collectively push this idea forward.

    I would love to be able to use Conditional Logic on an upload block in the application. If a student has some type of assessment/psychoeducation report, they would click yes and then be required to upload a copy of the document. As it stands now, the upload feature sits there but parents many times don't upload it.
