Hiding/Showing a field based on user's answer upon receiving email

I'm building an attendance application for my football officiating association. We have instructional meetings that must be attended. Rather than pass around sign in sheets for over 200 attendees, I came up with the idea of using an app using the app builder.

Basically the name field is a drop down list of all of our members. If a person joins the association late or is from another association it's probable that their name will not be contained in the dropdown. Therefore I have added entry in the dropdown list that says "Name not shown or from another association". I've created a condition that if that particular value is chosen then I show the full name properties element which allows them to manually input their name . That part works great. I would like the email that is generated to contain either the selected name from the dropdown or the manually entered name in the email table cell labeled "Name". If the {name} equals "Name not shown or from another association" Is there a way this can be done? FYI, right now I am only working with the Autoresponder email.

Thanks in advance

Hello Mark,

Thank you for reaching out to Jotform Support. Kindly check if this suggestion will work for you. Let me show you how to do it:

1. From the Form Builder, in the navigation bar at the top of the screen, click on Settings.
2. In the menu that opens on the left side of the page, click on Conditions.
3. Hover your mouse over the Show / Hide Field
4. Create a condition that will hide the name field if the Name entered manually is filled

• If: Name entered Manually
• State: Is Filled
• Do: Hide
• Field: Name

Doing this will hide the Name field when an email notification/autoresponder is received.

Please give it a try and keep us updated. Let us know if you need any more help.

That worked perfectly! Thanks so much
