Conditionals on Field Not Persisting Correctly
Bug description
I wanted to setup multiple conditions on a field so that it would not appear on two different templates. I added the additional condition but it wound up overwriting the previous conditions value and did not add the additional condition. This explains it better:
How to reproduce
- Went to fields sets to edit
- Clicked on Conditionals for the field I wanted to edit
- Added the extra condition and clicked Finish
- Clicked saved on next screen
- Went back to Conditionals and it overwrote the value previous value with the new value and didn't persist my new condition
This link best explains the steps.

This is also happening in v3.3.10.
The underlying issue is that the conditions are keyed by the referenced field and so only one condition is stored per field:
Looks like this is a valid problem, but at the moment we don't support having multiple conditions targeting the same field.
I just got bitten by this. Is this only when you're targeting the same field?
Yes, you can only set one condition per field.
We should probably add validation to the conditions builder UX to prevent users from trying this. We could also possibly look into adding && and || operators, so you could do things like: some_field: 'not bar && not foo'.
Until then though, I would suggest using custom JS conditions, as they are very powerful for more complex logic: https://statamic.dev/conditional-fields#custom-logic.
Ah yes. Any of those would be nice. The UI suggests it’s supported indeed. I could work around be reversing the logic in this case 👍.
Thanks for clarifying.
