Joy's default RSVP is already set up to handle this. Questions like meal preference and accommodations are connected as follow-ups to the attending answer, so only guests who said yes will see them. Guests who decline get a separate, relevant follow-up like an option to leave a note.
Where things can go wrong is when you add new questions. A newly added question is independent by default, which means it will be shown to whoever it's set to ask, regardless of whether they're attending. If you add a question like "What time will you arrive?" without attaching it as a follow-up, guests who can't make it will still be asked.
How to Tell If a Question Is Connected Correctly
On your RSVP Questions page, questions that are set up as follow-ups appear indented below the attendance question, connected by a line, with an "If [answer] ask:" label showing exactly which answer triggers them.
If a question is sitting independently below the attendance question with no connector line, it will be shown to whoever it's set to ask, whether they're attending or not.
How to Connect a Question to the Attending Answer
