    ie we ask how many pets they have. (any whole number)

    The answer to that depends on how many times we ask a bunch of questions relating to the pet ie


    Pet One

    Pet Name

    Pet Gender

    Pet Type (Cat/ Dog)

    Pet Vet (taken from earlier response of vets they use- how to we do that?)

    plus more questions...

    Then repeat the above questions for Pet Two.... etc...

    As we repeat the questions we want to ask.....

    <Insert Pet Name> Gender?

    <Insert Pet Name> Type?

    <Insert Pet Name > Vet?

    Hello marksolutionsnz,

    Currently, the feature you are talking about is not available in JotForm. I have forwarded your request to the dev team for consideration, but we cannot give a date for when it can be done. In the meantime, there is a method where you can partially apply the process you mentioned. Let me show you how,

    1. Add a dropdown field and set options for how many pets you want to collect information of. OZJSlaLeqUlN1KFo0FPL6BrjJcXxIaX2BITTZZvh Screenshot 10
    2. Add the fields about what information you want to collect and multiply as many times as you set in the dropdown list earlier. PkH9uPHcM0 89bI5G8K rN9pEra4hBuBRT1gFoY0 Screenshot 21
    3. After that click on the Settings tab, then click on Conditions and select Show/Hide Field as shown in the picture.1656686338 62bf0702d2112  Screenshot 32
    4. Then set the fields to be shown in case 1 pet is selected as shown in the picture.d58lBpyFXjc88NTNF9Cy 77Wy9o61576PCHvTDWR Screenshot 43
    5. Then add a new condition as I explained in the 3rd clause and set the areas to be shown if 2 pets are selected as in the picture. The areas you choose should be selected cumulatively according to the number of pets.UVG K04Z1 oT0jA Fi8IOh1OytjXC nlvyqm9eFE Screenshot 54
    6. Repeat the 3rd and 4th steps for each pet count and be careful to cumulatively select the fields of pets info fields.rSggDErhvby nTZt0m7 HEECUhhLCgaMuZnUaDeO Screenshot 65
