    I see in the form how to do this for a single choice field but what if I want to extract the values from a multiple choice field where someone could chose more than 1 answer and there values which are different are passed into the same text field.


    Example:


    Product we will be using:

    () SW Duration

    () BM Aura

    () SW Emerald


    SW Duration would equal Sherwin Williams Duration is 2x as thick as other paints & has the highest durability.

    BM Aura would equal Benjamin Moore Aura has the best color fade tech & is very durable.

    SW Emerald would equal Sherwin Williams Emerald is the most durable paint on the planet.

    Yes it is possible to achieve your requirement by taking advantage of "Calculation Values" feature. Here are the steps you need to follow:

    #1. Add calculation value for each options of multiple choice questions.

    #2. Add condition in your form to check if the multiple choice question is filled in, insert value of multiple choice question in long text entry field. Please check the screenshot below:
