# Conditional Categories

 * I am creating a site that has submission functionality. I am trying to create
   a form that allows a user to choose whether the submission is a photo, video,
   or written submission; based on this initial choice, specific fields will display
   for the user to choose from and submit.
 * The problem is that I need to add featured image and categories multiple times
   to the form. For example: On the Photo submit, featured image is required, whereas
   on the other two, it is not. I require having the field there twice and displaying
   the mandatory one only when photo submission is selected.
 * This is the same with the categories. There are categories that should only show
   depending on the type of submission, but I cannot place multiple category selects
   to filter through with EXCLUDE/INCLUDE terms.
 * There is only one submissions post type as they are displayed in the same section
   of the website and can be filtered easily enough with if statements. I would 
   like it if I can only use one form with conditional logic rather than have to
   build three separate forms on three different pages.
 * Is there any way to do this? Thank you.

 * Hi [@dhregular](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dhregular/),
 * As per your queries, there is no way to do this by default. If you want to achieve
   this, it requires custom development.
 * I am letting the developer team know about it as a feature request. I hope they
   will definitely take the necessary steps regarding this issue.
 * Hope this will help. If you have further queries, kindly contact through [the website](https://wedevs.com/contact/).
 * Regards!
