- Once I enabled it, it converted my registration form into a 2-tab form, but I can't find a way to make it a 1-tab form or to control what goes in which tab. It seems to have a mind of its own. I have searched for settings in the plugin config itself, in the tab and everywhere, but can't anything that gives me control. Changing the display setting in the related tab from 'tabbed' to 'div with title' did not help.
- the conditional field display functionality seems to be limited. It appears you can only make 1 field conditional to another (i.e. 1 to 1). you can't effect a 1 to many condition. Thus, I can't make the display of city field conditional on choice of country AND state. So I made state conditional on country and city conditional on state, thinking that if state field is hidden the related cities field would be hidden, but it didn't work that way. Any ideas?
[mod note: please start new thread for new questions - it is really difficult to keep looking back at already answered threads - started new thread for you]

If stepped registration is enabled, then each step will contain registration fields for a specific CB tab. Contact Info tab registration fields will appear in one step tab, other fields placed in another CB tab will be a different step, etc.
It follows the way you organized your fields.

You need 3 set of fields to do this:
country field containing all countries you need.
set of state fields - one states field for each country.
set of city fields - one cities field for each state.

Sincerely I don't like the idea to create dozens of fields just to obtain what could be done wiht a single field dinamically filled.
To do this, I've found an interesting Plugin:
www.joomlapolis.com/cb-solutions/directory/community-building/profiles/ew-cb-dropdown-sql
This plugin allows to create a "city" dropdown field that can be fired up using CB Conditional. The content of this field is the result of an SQL query that we can freely define.
The final problem that must be solved to obtain the desired result (a dynamic query), is to get the "State" value from the State DropDown, to use it inside the SQL query.
I'm new to CB and Joomla and I'm stuck with this problem, so I trust in the help of the Experts of this forum for some hints.
Thanks
Stefano

There are 10 registration fields and they are all in one tab. The last field is visible in Step 1 tab, so why is there a Step 2 tab? What else could be causing this?

set of city fields - one cities field for each state.
That is exactly what I did, but its not following the logic. I think its a bug. If field A is conditional on B, which in turn is conditional on C, then if the condition for B is not met (which means B is hidden) A should also be hidden. Or am I missing something?

Do you have fields hidden by CB Conditional that could be on another tab and are shown on registration? If so then that could be the issue. I recommend upgrading to latest release of CB Conditional (1.2.0) if not done so already.There are 10 registration fields and they are all in one tab. The last field is visible in Step 1 tab, so why is there a Step 2 tab? What else could be causing this?
State fields need to have a condition based off the Country field. This allows multiple conditions based off the country field. Example as follows.That is exactly what I did, but its not following the logic. I think its a bug. If field A is conditional on B, which in turn is conditional on C, then if the condition for B is not met (which means B is hidden) A should also be hidden. Or am I missing something?
Field A - No Condition
Field B - if Field A is Equal To 123 then Show
Field C - if Field A is Equal To 456 then Show
