 * I am new to the plugin and am trying to understand how the conditional logic 
   works.
    One area I cannot figure out is how to hide/show/disable an element if
   another element is not filled out. Example, I want to disable a “Next Page” button
   unless certain fields are filled out such as First and Last Name So on the Next
   button I put a if <First Name> is < > (where I leave the condition field empty,
   I assumed this would work to disable the Next button but it does not. How do 
   I set up a condition that says if X field is not filled in, checked, selected
   or otherwise filled out, then disable/hide/show this element? Thanks in advance.
