Hello,
In the form I am trying to create using the blank custom template, I would like to have one of my most important questions be answered in the form of a drop down where the applicant selects all options that apply and for ever option selected questions appear below relevant to that selection.
Can we create a drop down that behaves in a such a way? If so, how?
I sincerely appreciate the help.
Phillip

Please check my demo form: https://form.jotform.com/83467356902969
Is that what you're trying to achieve?
If yes, you can do that by creating conditions for the Drop Down field. You will need to use the Show/Hide condition. It will show the field based on the user's answer. Here's a complete guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/196-Hide-or-Show-Multiple-Fields-at-Once
You can also clone my demo form so you can check the condition settings by following this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/42-How-to-Clone-an-Existing-Form-from-a-URL

Zen76Replied on December 14, 2018 at 11:43 AMThat is not what I was trying to achieve. It feels like no one actually
read this and a computer read "drop down" and sent this response. I
specifically stated that I need a drop down that can select multiple
options, not just one, and for every option selected additional questions
appear.
In the demo you provided, only one selection can be made.
Thanks for your help.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
I forgot to tell you that you can enable the Multiple Selections feature in the Drop down field. Here's a screenshot:
Here's the result:
Important: Press the "CTRL" button to select another option.

this the most efficient way to solve this for you? It certainly is not for
me.

I figured out how to use the conditions and create the drop down that I am going for. I have another question related to the dropdown. My options to select within the drop down can be lengthy as far as characters go. I was hoping I could make the dropdown wider so that each selection would fit on one line within the drop down. I see where I can select properties and under "Options" adjust the width in pixels of the drop down, but from what I am seeing it is only adjusting the box at the top and not the menu that drops down below the box. Will this change whenever the form is used? Am I doing something wrong? After adjusting the width in pixels under options, the box at the top is definitely wide enough to fit the characters. It is the drop down that is not wide.

You may also use custom CSS to change with width of your dropdown.
.form-dropdown{
width:250px;

Please give it a try and let us know if you have further questions.

I appreciate all of the team's help. So I have gotten pretty far in the creation of the form I am working on. I am an insurance agent. So the form I am creating will first gather contact information and identifying information that is necessary for any type of insurance.
After that initial data collection, I want my form to have a dropdown (which I have already created) that lists the different types of insurance the prospect may desire quotes for. This dropdown will allow for multiple selections, and I want the different selections to drop in additional pages with questions that are specifically related (per page) to the varying selections in the last question on the first page.
Can we do this? Can I add a condition on a page break where the page break is conditional to the selections on the last question on page 1?

Skip to Page and Hide Page conditional logic won't work when multiple selections is enabled in the dropdown. A workaround here would be to do the following:
1. Add a submit button for each page starting Page 2.
2. Configure a conditional logic to show multiple fields based on the dropdown selection.
Here's a demo form: https://form.jotform.com/83511958555971.
The conditional logic are the following:
So...
When Page 2 is selected in the dropdown of my form, Page Break and Page 2 and its fields including the submit button shows up.
When Page 3 is selected, Page Break on Page 2, the fields, and submit button shows up.
...and so on.
The only downside of this method is that there's no way users can go back when they are on the last page since the page break is conditionally shown/hidden.
If you'd like, you can exclude the page break in the conditions. Demo: https://form.jotform.com/83511790690965.

I am almost finished creating my form. I appreciate all the help.
I have two questions in my form that I want tied together using conditional logic.The first question is a single selection/choice question that provides multiple choices and asks for the state of the individual's Driver's License. The next question asks for the Driver's License Number associated with the license. I would like to use conditional logic to format the acceptable format for each state's Driver's License number based upon the selection of the Driver's License state.
Can this be done?
I appreciate your help, Phillip.
