  3. Yes, you can create the 4 optional fields, then choose to display them based on the value from another field. The fields will be hidden until you've specified how many to show. For example, a select field that asks how many people, if 3 are chosen, then 3 of the inputs are shown.

    It looks like you've already started that direction with your form, you just need to develop it further with more fields.

  4. My issue is that, when you select TWO it only shows the 2nd not the first. I have seperate boxes and everything for each input.

  5. This isn't difficult to do if you set the conditions up properly for the conditional logic. For example, you have a form where you have a set number of people (up to 4) and you want to get their name. The first persons name field should show up if any of options 1-4 are selected. The second persons name if 2-4 are selected and so on. Here are some screenshots of the conditional logic options for each name field in my simple form.

    screenshot - settings 2nd person name: http://grab.by/8tTj

    screenshot - settings 3rd person name: http://grab.by/8tTn

    screenshot - settings 4th person name: http://grab.by/8tTr

    Now, here's the test form working.

    and here's the exported form XML that you can download, import and play around with if you would like

    All you need to do is take this example and apply it to any other fields in the same manner and you should be good to go.
