Show text job description upon dropdown selection

  • Ravindra_Reddy
    Asked on June 26, 2022 at 11:59 AM

    Hello,


    I am trying to build a job application

    We have 3 open roles so I have inserted a drop down to show all the 3 roles in the 1st field

    Once a user select any of these roles, I need to show the relevant job description so that he/she can read everthing and then start filling the form

    So, I know the conditional logic to show the different text based on the job role they select but the issue issue "how can I show a formatted long text on the form with description"?

    Reference form is here

    Could you please help?

    Thanks,

    Thank you Durand

    How can we display a rich text where we can insert bold text, hyper links etc on the forms?
