We're thrilled to introduce Conditional Fields, coming in hot with v5.17.0! 🔥
You can now dynamically show or hide fields based on Enumeration or Boolean values.
🍕 Example time:
→ italianDish is set to pizza → boom, all the pizza-related fields appear.
→ likesPineappleOnPizza is false → hide everything and pretend the debate never happened.
This is just the first slice — we're already working on expanding support to more field types. 
Meanwhile, tell us:
what works?
what’s missing?
what weird edge case did you throw at it?
💬 Drop your feedback, questions, or memes by email to product-feedback@strapi.io
P.S. If you manage to break it… congrats, you’re probably onto something interesting. Tell us what you did. 😅

I will not put pineapple on pizza if you guys release dynamic zones in components

Hey Strapi Community!

We’re excited to announce that Conditional Fields are now available in beta! 🥳

With conditional fields, you can dynamically show or hide fields in the content editor based on other field values (namely, boolean and enumeration fields' values).

🛠️ To test the beta:

Make sure you’re on the version
5.17.0-beta.0
of Strapi
Start configuring conditions in your content types by defining them in the fields' advanced settings. For now, conditions can be set based on the value of a boolean or enumeration field.

🗣️ Share your feedback & issues:

Comment in our Discord channel for any qualitative feedback
Open an issue on GitHub if you spot a bug or a problem

As always, your input will shape how this feature evolves – we appreciate every bit of it!

Thank you! 🫶🏻

Marco Autiero Thank you guys for listening to the community and develop strapi with the wishes and needs of the users in mind! 👌🏻

Marco Autiero Best feature release ever. I really need this in my schema design.

Diego Rodriguez

Is there any date to release this field with a conditional?

in progress

We’re working on

Conditional Fields

to make content editing in Strapi more intuitive and focused. This feature allows developers to configure when certain fields should be shown or hidden, based on other field values. This enhancement helps reduce clutter in the editing interface, improves data accuracy, and speeds up onboarding for non-technical users. Whether you’re building complex schemas or managing large teams, conditional fields make your CMS smarter and easier to use.

Niklas Winkels thank you so much, this will make editing so much simpler.

jodie

oh my word! big one....

Boaz Skater

Niklas Winkels this is great! Just wondering? Will this feature also allow conditional requiring at the API level?

Alex Bennett

Niklas Winkels so much hype for this feature. I cannot wait!

Igor Zinchenko

Niklas Winkels no idea how to react on this.

Brocy Centeio

Niklas Winkels about time, thanks God and Strapi, what a time to be alive

Niklas Winkels

Boaz Skater: Thanks for the question! Conditional fields only apply to the admin panel and the Content Manager interface. They do not influence the API behavior or enforce any conditions at the API level.

Aswanth Updot

Niklas Winkels thank you so much, When can we expect this?

Davomyan

How long has this been delayed??

Davomyan

ETA?

Harvey Gomez

Following this as it is a feature we require also.

I can build a custom plugin in the meantime but would be great when this is supported out of the box.

Aurélien Georget With v5 launching soon, any update on this? Really looking forward to this feature

Aurélien Georget

Brianfbento I'm going to disappoint you. We didn't start to work on the feature yet. It's still in our backlog though. I have no ETA to share, it's on hold, the Preview feature was prioritized instead.

Davomyan

Aurélien Georget Hi Aurelien, what is the ETA on this now? Can we expect it still in 2024?

Aurélien Georget

Davomyan I still don't know, we are focused on fixing Strapi 5 bugs and the Previews as we speak. I don't think we should expect anything coming from the core team this year.

Davomyan

Aurélien Georget How about now? If you're going to ditch Dynamic zone in Components, then at least make this one please..
