I’m having an interesting issue with my dropdown list.

I have it being sourced from a type and would like to be able to show a certain field based on whether a specific field is empty or not.

I would also like to be able to format the option captions depending on what they contain.

Because the “Current Option” is unavailable in the conditionals, I was able to copy it from the appearance tab successfully. However, Bubble doesn’t seem to recognize the condition and hence won’t apply it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
