Is there any way to define a conditional terminal screen logic. Please refer to below use-case for more information
Use Case:
I have a screen where user will be give a radioButton input field Yes/No. If the form value is Yes continue to next screen. In case of No terminate the flow.
Example Flow JSON:
{
"version": "4.0",
"routing_model": {
"ADDRESS_CHANGE_SCREEN": [
"CONFIRMATION_SCREEN"
]
},
"screens": [
{
"id": "ADDRESS_CHANGE_SCREEN",
"layout": {
"type": "SingleColumnLayout",
"children": [
{
"type": "Form",
"name": "reschedule_form",
"children": [
{
"type": "RadioButtonsGroup",
"name": "address_change_option",
"label": "Update Address",
"required": true,
"data-source": [
{
"id": "yes",
"title": "Yes",
"description": "I want to update address"
},
{
"id": "no",
"title": "No"
}
]
},
{
"type": "If",
"condition": "${form.address_change_option} == 'yes'",
"then": [
{
"type": "TextInput",
"input-type": "text",
"label": "Floor,apt etc.,",
"name": "additional"
},
{
"type": "TextArea",
"name": "street_address",
"label": "street Address",
"required": true
},
{
"type": "TextInput",
"input-type": "text",
"label": "Nearby Landmark",
"name": "landmark"
},
{
"type": "TextInput",
"input-type": "text",
"label": "City",
"name": "city",
"required": true
},
{
"type": "TextInput",
"input-type": "text",
"label": "State",
"name": "state",
"required": true
},
{
"type": "TextInput",
"input-type": "number",
"label": "Pin Code",
"name": "pincode",
"required": true
},
{
"type": "Footer",
"label": "Submit",
"on-click-action": {
"name": "navigate",
"next": {
"type": "screen",
"name": "CONFIRMATION_SCREEN"
},
"payload": {
"address_change_option": "${form.address_change_option}",
"absolute_data_picker_input": "${data.absolute_data_picker_input}",
"time": "${data.time}",
"street_address": "${form.street_address}",
"floor_apt": "${form.additional}",
"landmark": "${form.landmark}",
"city": "${form.city}",
"state": "${form.state}",
"pincode": "${form.pincode}"
}
}
}
],
"else": [
{
"type": "Footer",
"label": "Submit",
"on-click-action": {
"name": "complete",
"payload": {
"address_change_option": "${form.address_change_option}",
"absolute_data_picker_input": "${data.absolute_data_picker_input}",
"time": "${data.time}"
}
}
}
]
}
]
}
]
},
"title": "Update Address",
"terminal": true,
"success": true,
"data": {
"absolute_data_picker_input": {
"type": "string",
"__example__": "11111111"
},
"time": {
"type": "string",
"__example__": "1111"
}
}
}
]
}
With the above JSON if I try to run the flow Meta is throwing error from graphql.
Please find the response below

It is not possible to build conditional navigation within your Flow JSON. The "If" and "Switch" operators currently only support conditional rendering of components within a screen.
The only way to achieve conditional navigation is to add an Endpoint to your Flow, and then use a data_exchange action on the Footer of the screen, which will trigger a data_exchange request to your Endpoint. You can then define the next screen via your data_exchange response.
This does add complexity, as you will need to maintain a server to support the Flow.
