Hey, I use playbooks for deal qualification. The answer to each question is then updating the specific properties. I wanted to introduce some conditional properties. Ie: is this prospect using a competitor’s solution? YES/NO =\> If yes, open a dropdown menu with a list of competitors. I don’t seem to be able to do this inside a playbook = if I include a question that corresponds to that first property, it won’t trigger a second property. Let me know if this is just how playbooks work or I’m missing any option. Thanks ---

@Edyta7510 - This functionality is not currently available in playbooks, though there is an idea [submitted here](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Field-dependencies-in-Playbooks/idi-p/405568) for it which you can up-thumb to follow the progress of. It is possible to have conditional properties within the Create record form or CRM record left sidebar, which may solve your issue for now.

Hi @HFisher7 , this is what I thought was the case. Thanks for confirming. I will use the record left sidebar indeed for this purpose. ---

However, the left side bar is not completely clean. We really need conditionals in playbooks to make the tool really usefull. DDK ---

Hi, I’m Winnie the Playbooks PM. We just went into [Private Beta with Conditional Properties in Playbooks](https://app.hubspot.com/l/product-updates/live?update=13963218) this week. It allows for [dependent fields](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/properties/set-up-conditional-logic-for-enumeration-properties?hubs_content=knowledge.hubspot.com/properties/set-up-conditional-options-for-properties&hubs_content-cta=conditional%20logic%20to%20display%20properties) or [conditional property options](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/properties/set-up-conditional-options-for-properties#additional-conditional-logic-for-properties) in Playbooks. The rollout is for property based conditional logic. It does not include section based conditional logic nor if/then branching. If **conditional sections or if/then logic branching is what you’re looking for,** I’d love to learn more! That isn’t possible in current Playbooks given the way it was built so my team is actively **exploring a new feature** we’re calling **Process Guides for enforcing process in HubSpot**. A big part of this feature will be conditional sections / steps and multi-step flows. We’re gathering input from customers on what the top processes they care about are. Check out **[the loom linked in this survey](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfQvRkMFGJsuREvqb0mCwDz5zZmE0GJiVUteUBF7x3eOrRNEA/viewform)** to see a demo of an early proof of concept and and help us out by **filling out the survey** by Dec 15th, 2024! The survey is open to any HubSpot customer or prospect. **This data will help us decide if we’re can move ahead with this project, so please help us out by filling out the survey!** ---

Did this project go anywhere? We see a use case where a qualification call is happening and based on different outcomes/discussions the questions should change e.g. areas of advice, do they want a call now or in the future, do they have kids etc they result in different pages/questions being surfaced. ---

Hi @DWhittington1, Thank you for posting to the Community! Conditional property logic is available within the Playbook tool. You would first need to add the Conditional Logic to the property by following the steps [here](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/properties/set-up-conditional-options-for-properties). After that, you would need to add the property to the Playbook and then the Conditional Logic will pop-up when selecting the value under the property. Cassie, Community Manager ---

Yeah that’s not quite what I mean. That opens up a pop up to fill in the properties seperately. I was more thinking like conditional fields in a form. Based on inputs, different fields would appear within the playbook to cater the questions on a call for example as not all questions are relevant but you don’t know that until later on. ---

Hi @DWhittington1, Thank you for your response! I’d like to tag in some of our Top Contributors to see if they have any workarounds for this -- Hi [@HubSpot\_Corey](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/580930) @franksteiner79 and @HubDoPete Do any of you all have any ideas on this for @DWhittington1?

Totally agree - I think this would be SO helpful!
