      For guidance on the below, see Setting conference fees and events.



      Dependency questions


      Dependency questions are questions that depend on the response to a previous question, eg. if a specific response is chosen, then a new question will be revealed.

      See Dependency questions for guidance on setting these up.

      NB: You can only set up dependency questions when the 'parent' question is a 'choice' type of question, e.g. checkbox, dropdown or radio button questions. Conference tickets and events questions are also included.
