How to recreate:  
• I have a 2 choice buttons and neither are set to “required.”  
• The 2nd button being visible is conditional on the first one having an input, i.e. “choice 1 is not empty”  
• Result: the 2nd choice is visible even when the 1st choice has nothing entered.

In the attached screenshot, “Plant Type 2” should be hidden until there is a manual entry into “Plant Type 1,” but it’s permanently visible.

That’s because you set a filter when you should be setting visibility. Filter is to filter the list of choices, not the component.
