Dynamic Dropdowns text output

    Hi

    The dynamic dropdowns widget looks very useful but the output I get when copying the value of the field into another field with a condition is not so useful

    I get

    FirstLevelOptionSecondLevelOption

    all in one string without even a separator

    Is there a way to get just the second level option to use in a condition? Or delimit and cut up the output in the form?

    Hi Lee,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I've checked the last form you edited and I can see that there is space on your field. May I know if you still need assistance?

    I figured out how to delimit the output, is there a way to chop it up, or only use the second dropdown value in a calculation?

    Hi Lee,

    I'm afraid it is not possible to use the second value in the dynamic dropdown widget for calculation. I would suggest using the regular dropdown fields instead, as the value will work with calculations.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
