Applying multiple conditions on a field

Questions and Answers

[details=“System Information”]

  • Strapi Version:5.33.2
  • OS: Ubuntu
  • Database: Postgres 16
  • Node Version: 22
  • Yarn Version: v1.22.22
    I’m working with Strapi (v5) and have created a component for banners. The component has an enumeration field called component_type, which controls which media fields should be visible in the Admin UI.

Use case

Based on the selected component_type, I want to conditionally show media fields:

  • media-left → show left image fields
  • media-right → show right image fields
  • media-center → show center image fields
  • media-both → show BOTH left and right image fields

Current component schema

"component_type": {
  "type": "enumeration",
  "enum": ["media-left", "media-right", "media-both", "media-center"]
}

Example media fields:

"left_image_desktop": {
  "type": "media",
  "conditions": {
    "visible": {
      "==": [
        { "var": "component_type" },
        "media-left",
        "media-both"
      ]
    }
  },
  "multiple": false,
  "allowedTypes": ["images"]
}
"right_image_desktop": {
  "type": "media",
  "conditions": {
    "visible": {
      "==": [
        { "var": "component_type" },
        "media-right",
        "media-both"
      ]
    }
  },
  "multiple": false,
  "allowedTypes": ["images"]
}

Problem

When component_type is set to media-both, I want both left and right image fields to be visible in the Admin UI.

However:

  • Only one field becomes visible
  • OR the condition does not behave as expected

I also tried using logical operators like ||, but the behavior is still inconsistent.

What I’m looking for

  • Correct way to define conditional visibility for multiple values in an enumeration
  • Whether Strapi supports OR conditions (media-left OR media-both) properly in component schemas
  • Or if this is a known limitation in the Admin UI

Questions

  1. Is it possible to show multiple media fields for a single enum value (media-both)?
  2. What is the recommended way to write conditions for this use case?
  3. Is this supported in Strapi v5 Admin UI, or is a custom admin plugin required?

Any guidance or examples would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance! :raised_hands:
