Conditional logic in the Conditional Fields for Elementor Form plugin relies on compare operators to decide when a condition is true or false. These operators help you define how a field’s value should be matched — for example, whether it equals, does not equal, contains, or starts with a specific value.
In this guide, you’ll learn about each available operator and when to use them.

Example Use Case:
