* Is it possible to have a conditional **to:** field based on user selection? For
instance in our use case, the choices are sales or support?

* yep, it will be available in the next release.
* What is your exact use case? Because what you want might be available in CF7
already, using pipes. See: [http://contactform7.com/selectable-recipient-with-pipes/](http://contactform7.com/selectable-recipient-with-pipes/)

* Great, thank you for the prompt reply.
* That pipes method will defiantly be useful in what we are looking to do… but
might need to manually do the conditional using 4 separate forms, as the full
use-case is conditional groups within a conditional group.
* users 1st selects from 4 departments…. but then in 1 department there are 3 regions
to choose from. So, there are 6 end recipients.
* department1 – {form > [email-1@company.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-to-field/email-1@company.com?output_format=md)}
* department2 – region1 – {form > [email-2@company.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-to-field/email-2@company.com?output_format=md)}
–
region2 – {form > [email-3@company.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-to-field/email-3@company.com?output_format=md)}–
region3 – {form > [email-4@company.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-to-field/email-4@company.com?output_format=md)}
* department3 – {form > [email-5@company.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-to-field/email-5@company.com?output_format=md)}
* department4 – {form > [email-6@company.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-to-field/email-6@company.com?output_format=md)}
* Will the update use the [group] as separation for the **To:** field and be able
to work with a nested conditionals setup?

* Ah ok. That’s an interesting case. [@stevish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevish/)
contributed some code on github for conditions in all email fields, but I haven’t
tested it yet. I’ll let you know when I did.
* I’m not sure on the timing yet, so if you’re feeling adventurous, you could test
it yourself by implementing the folowing pull request [https://github.com/pwkip/contact-form-7-conditional-fields/pull/6/files](https://github.com/pwkip/contact-form-7-conditional-fields/pull/6/files)
and let me know if it works for you

* Hi Jules,
* Did some tests, and looks to work really well. Couldn’t break it. Setup exactly
as above use case and tested to, From, Subject and Additional Headers fields.
* Only issue, wasn’t even to do with the conditionals itself, but CF7 in general,
and the Contact Form DB plugin I use to store entries.
The fact that all ‘consistent’
fields among conditional sections have to be unique. Means have [name1] – [name6],[
subject1] – [subject6] etc, which bloats out the Database
* Don’t wonder there is a way of being able to use the same form ID in multiple
conditional sections?
at the moment, it pulls the data from the last “entry”
of a specific ID.

* well. i’m afraid there is nothing we can do about that. it’s not just cf7 that
disallows duplicate field names. but this is actually an html standard. no 2
fields in an html form can have the same name because the server would not know
which is which. i agree there could be a workaround if you prepend all field
names with the group id they belong to. but frankly i believe this is asking
for compatibility problems with other plugins that extend cf7.

* Ehm i’m not quite sure if my problem is the same because i don’t have the condition
in a condition.
* I’ve tried this:
* ```
Wähle deinen Ansprechpartner
[select* your-recipient "KNRD Fest booking|booking@knrdfest.de"

[url Hoerprobe placeholder "Type Link - for example: http://bandcamp..."]
[/group]
```
* Now when I place the form in the visual editor I already see, that “[/group]”
is being shown as code – but i shouldn’t be seeing any code there wich tells
me that something is going wrong here.
* So as i already assumed, the condition also isn’t working, when i save and look
at the real page.
* Could you help me here?
* Thx in advance,
Phil

* [@philtone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philtone/) are you still having
problems with this after the update? If so, please create a new support thread
for this, as I won’t be monitoring this one.
