User-focused documentation: this guide explains VauForms from the perspective of the person creating, sharing or responding to a form.
01
What “logic” means in the current VauForms UI
Current VauForms logic is mainly expressed through field rules and form-level response behavior. The editor actively exposes rules such as Required, Maximum characters and checkbox selection mode.
02
Required answers
Required prevents submission when an essential question is empty. Use it only when the answer is genuinely necessary.
03
Text Maximum characters
Short Answer and Long Answer can have an optional maximum. Blank means unlimited; configured limits can be up to 10,000 characters and respondents see a character counter.
04
Checkbox selection logic
Checkbox is currently designed around two choices. Choose Only one for mutually exclusive options or Both allowed when selecting both is valid.
05
Rules are part of the submission experience
These rules are not editor-only decoration. Respondent input follows them, and invalid answers are checked before a response is accepted.
06
No general show/hide condition builder yet
Although VauForms has room for richer logic in its document model, the current V3 editor does not provide a general UI for rules such as “show Question B when Question A equals X.” Do not rely on complex branching until that UI exists and is tested.
