Hey guys, does sanity support “out of the box” conditional based options. What I mean by that is, if you check an item, it reveals other options?

It unfortunately does not. However, it is definitely possible to do that with a custom input component. Some relevant links:

There is also this collection of components that's kinda undocumented:

They're very useful for making you custom input match the rest of the studio. The
sanity.json
file there can help you figure out what paths to use in your
import
statements to get those components.
