    Hello

    I received very professionell help from you for my last form. Now I had a question for my next form.

    I will use the widget: https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/gift_registry 

    Now I have 9 different Dates in this year 2017 and on every Date there are 15 positions to fill with a name. Probably on one date we need 3 leaders, 6 helpers, 2 coffeemaker and so on. For the different positions I will use the gift_registry. But how can I build the form depends on every date? I know this sounds like a database!

    I'm excited to hear from you

    If I understand your question correctly, you would like to use gift registry widget for the positions but number of positions for different dates are different. I would like to suggest you another work around. Here is scenario :

    1. I have 2 dates and positions belongs to these dates are as following.

    - For the date 15-02-2017, I need 1 leader, 3 helpers and 1 coffemaker.

    - For the date 20-02-2017, I need 2 leaders and 4 helpers.

    2.  I added inventory widgets according to each position and total number.

    - I added an inventory widget for the coffemaker position and set value to 1. 

    - I added an inventory widget for the leader position and set value to 3.

    - I added an inventory widget for the helper position and set value to 7. 

    3. I added name fields for each inventory widget. The number of name fields are set according to the max number for that position. For example, I added 4 name fields for helpers position since it is the max value could be selected. 

    After that, I set some conditions to show fields according to user selections. You need to set condition based on the idea  show/ hide situation according to selections. 

    Here is my demo form : https://form.jotform.com/70384281206957

    Here is the result of how it works. Feel free to clone my form.
