How to get the individual field data from Dynamic Textbox widget?

    Asked on May 29, 2019 at 2:07 PM

    I'd like users to be able to list names and then have those fields populate a form to be sent as a pdf. Currently it just gives one field id. It is this card List the names of your children. (Use the ADD MORE button as needed.)

    Can I just add numbers in this format {listThe76[1]} {listThe76[2]}{listThe76[3]}?

    thanks!

    I'm sorry, but each of the boxes in the Dynamic Textbox widget has no name selector, and cannot be fetched in the text field for individual display. A workaround would be to use our Matrix Dynamique (https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/matrix_dynamique) widget to display the names in separate rows.

    See below for the result:

    how do I get the fields? There's no documentation on how to use fields with this. Also, I'm reading that it is not responsive? I can't add custom css since i"m using cards. Thanks!

    Would configurable list work better? Can't see how to get the fields from that either. Under field details it just says {TypeA}

    Do you mean to say that you want to display different names in different location of PDF document?

    Please note that it is not possible to split names from the rows and display each rows in different location.

    In this example there is an add members button http://form.myjotform.com/form/41112368425549

    How would you get the dynamic fields into a document?

    When the form is submitted with the data in the "Configurable List" list widget, you need to just add the field in the "PDF Editor" and the complete input data of configurable list widget will be displayed in the PDF document in tabular format. Please check the screenshot below:

    If you want to display the configurable list data in a different location, you need to just add the field in the desired location. Please check the screenshot below:
