    I was wondering if there was a way to duplicate a certain portion of a form. For example, having an employment history section you are asking the same questions about the last 2-4 employers. Instead of having to manually enter each field can you say I want to duplicate these 6-8 fields?

    Also, if there a way to hide the employment history 2, 3 and 4 sections to lessen the length of the form. For example, the user would see a blank employment history section to fill out and then click a button to reveal another section to add ... So on and so forth.

    Just trying to lessen the visual length of a very lengthy form.

    What you are referring to is the ability to dynamically add a group of fields based on the user selecting an option to add another group. This is not currently a built in feature, but it's definitely a feature we plan on tackling down the road... it's pretty complex due to how the form data and entry data is stored.

    There is a field that does this type of functionality, but it's limited to just that field and can't be applied to groups of other fields. That field is called the List Field and it's in the Advanced toolbox of the Form Editor.

    The List Field supports single column and multi-column lists and allows users to add rows to the list as they fill out your form. Here is a screenshot showing an example:

    The other option is to use conditional logic to show additional fields. You would have to add all the fields to the form and then have a drop down for them to select how many they plan on adding, and then using conditional logic show the appropriate fields based on the drop down selection.
