Conditional Questions

Yes/no questions that progressively reveal additional form fields based on user responses.

Usage Notes

When to use: Use when follow-up questions depend on a prior answer. Reduces cognitive load by hiding irrelevant fields until they are needed.
Accessibility considerations: Conditional sections use aria-controls and aria-expanded to communicate the relationship between the trigger and revealed content. Screen reader announcements fire when sections appear or disappear. Hidden fields are excluded from validation. Field values are preserved when sections are hidden.
NYSDS components used: nys-radiogroup, nys-radiobutton, nys-textinput, nys-select, nys-button, nys-alert
Customization points: Questions and conditional fields can be adapted to any yes/no branching logic. Required vs. optional designations on conditional fields, the number of questions, and the specific form controls shown can all be changed.
