Is there a way to require fields based on the selected option in the form?

    Hi there,

     

    I want to add a bit to a form that says "How many seasons do you have per year?"

     

    If they select three, then I require information about three, and they can't move on until they provide it.  

    If they select five, then I require information about five, etc.

     

    Is there a way to do that in Jotform?

    Yes, this is possible with Jotform. You have two ways:

    1. Add and make the fields as an optional by default and require them based on the user selection. If the user selects 3, require the first 3 fields.

    2. Add and make the fields as required, but only show then based on the selection of the user. If the user selects 2, show 2 fields.

    Here's my test form for you to see how the above works: https://form.jotform.com/70057509805962

    Here are the conditions when requiring the fields:
