    Is there a way to have an option in a multiple choice field populate other options in the same multiple choice field if selected?

    Hi @TGGeotechnics!

    Unfortunately, it would not be possible to populate options in the same Multiple Choice field. However, it is possible to populate a different Multiple Choice field on the same form using Update/Calculate Field conditional logic. Please check out my form and clone it if you would like to see how I have set up the condition.

    Alternatively, you can use the Show/Hide Field condition to bring up another Multiple Choice field based on the selection of the first. Please check out this other form and clone it as well to see the conditional logic setup.

    Is there no way of having a 'all of the above' option in the multiple choice field?

    Hi @TGGeotechnics!

    I was able to create a workaround for populating all of the checkboxes in the Multiple Choice element. It requires adding another Multiple Choice element with a single option of "All of the above". Using the Update/Calculate Field condition, we can use Calculate a field's value option to insert the names of options in the original multiple choice field, like so:

    Simply list all of the options from the multiple choice separated by a comma and click Save. I have also added CSS code to bring the second multiple choice element closer to the first one to make it appear as a single field.

    Please take a look at this new form and clone it if it fits your specifications.
