I need a text field for my customer after a decision

Hello there,

I hope you can help me:

I created a form with a drop down field. My costumer has the option to choose from two possibilities.

If he chooses Number 1, everything is fine.

But if he chooses Number 2, I would like new little text window to appear, so he could type in the answer to a question he is asked the same moment.

I hope you understand what I mean. I hope you can help me.

Thanks, Alex

Hi,

Just to clarify, you want a new field to appear when a certain value is selected in the drop down field? If yes, you can use conditional logic when a user select Number 2 a hidden field will appear. To know more about conditional logic please refer to the guide. I have also created a sample form, you can clone it and test it out for yourself.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thanks for your reply.

That is exactly what I need, thank you. But how do I set it up now? What do I need to choose? Since my page is in German I don't know what to look for. Could you please maybe show me a screenshot? Or maybe you could put it in my form I already created? (Horrortalk-Termine)

Thank you, Alex

Hi Alexander,

You may refer to the instructions below;

1. From the form builder add a Short Text form element below the dropdown.
2. Hide the Short Text element.
3. Create a Show/Hide Field Conditional Logic.

I also cloned your form so I can show you how to do it.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you need further assistance. Thanks!

Regards,

That was wonderful, thank you so much :)
