Adding Conditional Group as Pipe Value

Hey there. I have a unique situation and was wondering if someone could help me. I need a form to go to a pipe value but based on the main selection choice OR the conditional selection choice. Here’s what I have:
```
[select* state first_as_label "State of Interest" "Arizona|john@email.com,jane@email.com" "California|[if-california][california-sub-region][/if-california]" "Florida|john@email.com,jane@email.com" "New York|john@email.com,jane@email.com" "North Carolina|ted@email.com,carl@email.com"]

[group if-california]
[select* california-sub-region first_as_label "Select California Region" "Northern California|jack@email.com,jill@email.com" "Central California|jack@email.com,jill@email.com" "Southern California|john@email.com,jane@email.com"]
[/group]
```
Whenever I set it up like this and go to the conditional fields area to setup the condition, the “state” field is missing under “Show if”. I may just be doing something wrong. Is there anyway to make this happen?

Thanks in advance!

Side Note: Please notice the emails are different for many of the options.

Hi, you cannot use groups inside simple form tags or inside values.
Groups can only be used to group parts of the form.

Please check some examples to get a feel for how to use the group tag.

Hi Jules,

Thanks for the quick reply!

I was afraid of that :(. Is there another way to achieve what I’m trying to achieve? Where I can have the email go to either the state value OR the group value?

There may not be, but thought I’d ask.

Sure, you can make it happen with an empty group.

form:
```
[select* state first_as_label "State of Interest" "Arizona|john@email.com,jane@email.com" "California" "Florida|john@email.com,jane@email.com" "New York|john@email.com,jane@email.com" "North Carolina|ted@email.com,carl@email.com"]

[group if-california]
[select* california-sub-region first_as_label "Select California Region" "Northern California|jack@email.com,jill@email.com" "Central California|jack@email.com,jill@email.com" "Southern California|john@email.com,jane@email.com"]
[/group]

[group not-california][/group]
[submit]
```
conditions:
```
show [if-california] if [state] equals "California"
show [not-california] if [state] not equals "California"
```
And finally, add this line to the To field:

[if-california][california-sub-region][/if-california][not-california][state][/not-california]

see it in action:

That’s great! Not sure why it didn’t occur to me. Thanks Jules!
