I need to have conditions nested in a view eg

[frm-condition ......]
[frm-condition ......] Yes to both [/frm-condition]
[/frm-condition]

This doesn't work. Is there another to have nested frm-condition?

There's nothing in the Knowledgebase about nesting this shortcode. It's used for comparing two values only. https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/compare-two-values-for-display/. If you need something more complex, you should write your own shortcode.

Thank you Victor. In case this helps someone I ended up with a combination of named param and a a simple [if]
It might be easier to create a shortcode, but for now this works.
====
[frm-condition source=param param=actual_number equals=0]
[if 26 like="Yes"]
/// Display
[/if 26]
[/frm-condition]

Does this still work for you? I am seeing errors. My [if] statements are displayed on the page.

<p><p>Hey @bookclubreading I did this so long ago, but it did end up making it work but I think there was more to just this part. And custom parameters were certainly the answer. I made a bunch of these.</p><pre>Start your code here[frm-condition source=param param=monetary_difference equals=0] [if 27 22="Plaintiff" like="Yes"] [frm-math]([frm-stats id=24 type=total 25="[25]" 22="Defendant"] - [frm-stats id=24 type=total 25="[25]" 22="Plaintiff"])[/frm-math] [/if 27] [/frm-condition]</pre><pre>Start your code here</pre><p>I'll try to look at the rest of the code as soon as I can and see what I can (re)learn.</p></p><p>Not sure why the formatting is messed up</p>

Hi Daveed - Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I need another frm-condition statement to count instances of a field value in another form
