A new concept of conditional differential invariants is introduced that allows the description of equations invariants with respect to an operator under a certain condition. Finding a basis of conditional differential invariants allows the description of all equations having the same conditional invariance property, and the description of all equations reducible by means of a certain Ansatz. An example of conditional invariants of the projective operator is given the description of all Poincaré-invariant equations having the same conditional or hidden symmetry property as the nonlinear wave equation with cubic nonlinearity possible.
