Number Field to Create Multiple Fields

  1. First, I want to say that I have been a long time cForms user and man this is SOOOOO much easier. So easy my clients can use it!

    Is there any way to have a number field value add extra fields. For instance we have a registration form that has a number field for # of children attending. We would like to automatically show a set of fields (name, age, m/f, medical conditions) for each child that a number is made for?

    I thought about just create 10 sections for each child that is conditional upon a check box, but that can be very daunting. Any suggestions!

  3. Currently this is not possible, you would probably have to be creative with the conditional logic. But it is a great idea. I can see how you may want to have a block of inputs that are variable based on user input. I will talk to the team and we can look into adding this functionality in a future release.

  5. I did do a small version of this with conditional logic set on any of the drop-down selections over 1 triggered the display of the additional fields.

    It would be great in that future release if you consider a way that conditional logic could generate a variable and then other fields could evaluate that variable instead of re-creating. In that case a section break could do the complex logic and set sectionDisplay = true and all other entries would just have to see if sectionDisplay = true instead of the complex logic.

  6. If you apply conditional logic to a section break, it includes all fields below that section break until it hits another section break.

    So you can apply a conditional to a group of fields if they appear underneath a Section Break.
