App builders can now configure forms to dynamically redirect users to specific pages or actions based on their responses, creating a more tailored experience.
Whatâs New:
Conditional paths: Send users to different Softr pages or actions depending on their answers.
Action after submission: Choose from options like refreshing the form, opening a details page, navigating to another page, or linking to an external URL.
Thank you screen: Add a custom on-screen message to show after a submission.
Note: Conditional Form Endings are available on Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans.
You can now allow users to add new options directly to Dropdown inputs in Conditional Forms. This means your users can choose from existing options or add new ones that arenât already listed, offering more flexibility and personalization.
Easily preview your app on your phone by scanning a QR code. Switch to Mobile in Preview mode to access the QR code. Itâs the quickest way to check how your app looks and feels on mobile, helping you fine-tune your design effortlessly!

Was looking forward to the âAdd a new optionâ however this does NOT allow you to let user create new options if the field is linked to another table⌠only works if your field is single select or multi select within that tableâŚ
I have thousands of product attributes linked to many tables (orders, enquiries etc) to avoid multi data entry. By not allowing âadd as a new optionâ to these linked fields defeats the purpose. Also if someone is adding a new option then best practice is that youâre saving this information in a table to be used repetatively in other tables anyway - so seems pointless if cannot add to linked fields and better to have a check box to âAdd new Optionâ with conditional logic to show when ticked.
Example below
Dropdown field linked to different table (single line text)
Hi FPX, thatâs right. Currently, itâs only for single/multi-select and in form (not yet in Action modal).
Linked record is something weâll offer as well, but it is a bit more complex so we didnât want to bundle it together. The simple select already unlocks quite many use cases.
Weâre also looking to evolve the overall experience of linked records inside dropdown, so the options can display more visually than a simple tag (e.g. A product with image, name, and price)
Since weâre on the topic, a quick question about this use case: Letâs say an app user is filling out an order form while adding a new product (linked table) as an option inside a dropdown. The user doesât end up submitting the form, do you expect that product:
Hey Austin
The option to have the visuals within the form such as images etc would be awesome but need that working as linked fields
E.g. adding an order would be a form that is adding a product which is a linked field to the order line item table. The image would either be an attachment field within the products table, or in my case a lookup field as I use the same image for multiple products as have got tens of thousands of product skus. Airtable and Fillout do this.
As for your question, i would go with answer 2 for sure - only if form is submitted would the product be added.
