Adding values into the input table

  • Michalchuk
    Asked on July 6, 2022 at 10:39 AM

    I have a form with a multiple selection checkbox.

    When anything is selected i want it to transfer down into a defects table and right now I'm getting it to transfer down all in one group.


    is there a way to transfer them down so each one is a new line in the input table?


    or is there another type of widget I should be using for this.


    For example if they check both air brakes and coupling devices i would like in a defects table to have 2 rows - one with air brakes and one with coupling devices.

    Hi Michalchuk,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately if you use a multiple choice field, all of the selections get combined together and if you calculate another field based on that you'll end up with all of the selections in one field.

    I have made an example of some of how I would try to make the form from what you have setup already to be able to fill in parts of your input table.

    I would start by creating the multiple choice field with all of the selections. In my example I only made Air brakes and cab. When those are selected they have conditions set to show the additional text fields. Then when these additional fields are filled in, they copy the text from what's filled in to the input table. The checkbox in your input table can't be filled in this way but you can fill in text fields this way.

    You can clone my demo so you'll be able to see exactly what conditions I've created for this form also.

    If I'm not understanding correctly can you explain more so I can understand better and provide better help.
