How to add an information to an open field?

    Asked on February 23, 2018 at 9:56 AM

    Hello,

    I'm brand new and I would like to know if it's possible to have this sort of questions:

    Various options for example

    1) Airport

    2) Train

    3) Seaport

    For example, if I select Airport, then there will open a sort of field where I can add flight informations, a specific space only for that answer.

    If I select Train, there will open a field to add train informations.

    Is it possible to have a form like this? So depending on the answer you select there is a specific space to fill in.

    Thanks for your help.

    Cristina

    You can use the section collapse to hold an information field for each question.

    I cloned your form and I can't seem to find any condition added for the section collapse.

    To add a proper section collapse, you need to input the collapse then the information inside or vice verse. Here is a sample screen cast.

    Here is the output.

    Also, as I check your section collapse, make sure the Section Visibility is Hidden to have that dropdown effect.

    Thanks for your help.

    I'm sorry for all my questions. I finally understood this part.

    Just one more question:

    Is it possible to do this:

    If someone specifies the Airport field it won't ask the rest of the questions for example: train, seaport etc?

    We can add a single choice element to get the value of the lists and use conditional logic to show specific collapsed section.

    then we hide the Button collapse.

    After hiding the button collapse, we can add the conditional logic.

    If question is equal to Airport > Show: Airport.

    Just one world: Thank you Richie!

    I'm pretty sure I will bother you again.
    I have another question which is much more tricky but I will ask you later as soon as I finish the main work.

    Thanks again!

    Hi again Richie,

    is there a way I can have a sort of add-on to help me calculating how many nights are selected?

    Example:

    I have check-in date: 04.06.2018 and check-out date at 08.06.2018. It is 4 nights stay.

    Is there a widget that inserting a date for check-in and check-out automatically calculates me the nights?

    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry again.

    why with this wizard: "term and conditions" if I check the box it still says I have to fill it in?
