Not entirely sure how to word this but:
I want to make a condition to advance to the next screen. For example, if the Single Choice option is no, the user can't hit the submit/advance to the next screen unless the condition is Yes.
I'm using the Builder BETA.
How can I do that?
Thanks

This is an awesome explanation and exactly what I would recommend. I have drafted an article to explain this concept; I'm surprised we don't already have an article documenting this creative solution already. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
Hi Gary
You can set the subsequent screen(s) to be conditional screens so that it / they don't become available unless a certain condition is met.

I hope that helps.
Oh - I see you're using Builder BETA....
Here's a better article for that:

Hey Nathan H:
I appreciate the input! This method still allows me to advance to the next screen (unless I'm doing something wrong). I'm trying to make a condition where it checks to make sure some information is valid, and if not, it restricts the user to advance to a next page.
I got 2 conditions that I'm trying to make. I want the user to check to make sure a certificate date is valid. If they select no, an image will appear telling the user to "stop" and it restricts them from clicking "next" to advance to the next screen. I also want it to reference the date and see if the certificate is expired. If it's expired, I want it to restrict the user to advance to the next page.
I do believe this is possible but I'm having issues trying to figure that out.
Cheers,
Gary
One work around I can think of is making a conditional field i.e. short text box, that appears if the answer is NO. Now make it not visible on mobile and make this field a required field. Now, since user can't see it, he cannot answer it. Since he cannot answer it, he cannot submit it.
If you still want user to keep switching to other screens enable Table of Contents. If you want him stay stuck with no clue, remove Table contents. If you want to notify them, put a static conditional field to correct it as Yes. Hope this makes sense.
