    Is it possible to link the quantity of one item to the quantity of another item? In the form I've linked, for a commercial trailer rental, the customer is able to select the number of days for the rental but, the tire insurance should match the number of days the trailer is rented for.

    If they select any number from the drop down on the trailer rental, the quantity of the tire insurance should change.

    Hi James,

    Thanks for patiently waiting. Unfortunately, you cannot link or copy the quantity of one product to another in the Product List. Each product's quantity must be manually selected by the customer. A workaround is to remove your products from the product list and choose basic elements, such as putting them in a dropdown, and assigning a calculation value to each choice. I created a sample form that might be suitable for your needs. Could you please check this demo form to see if it is similar to what you are looking for? 

    Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to help you with this.

    Hi James,

    Thank for getting back to us, and I am glad you like the workaround I suggested. Check out the steps and screencast below to see how it's done: Let me show you how:

    • First, we'll add 3 Short Texts for Deposit with a default value of $250, Tire Insurance x Number of Days and Tire Insurance with a default value of $35.
    • Click the Gear icon for Deposit and Tire Insurance x Number of Days, then navigate to the Advanced tab and enter the Default value for Deposit and set them to Read Only.
    • For Tire Insurance, set the Default value and Hide the field.
