Conditional Trait

Conditional Trait allows you to enter data which requires additional input based on the value provided for an attribute. You can capture conditional traits to support regulatory or compliance data use cases. For example, if a product does not contain chemicals that fall under California Prop-65, you can add compositional data to show that none of the ingredients are chemicals that fall under California Prop-65. 

In this article, you'll learn about Conditional Trait.
