Hi,
Yes. You can do that by setting up the calculation values option in the dropdown.
Right click on the widget and then click on Show Properties option.
Click on the Calculation values field as shown on the screenshot and first add an empty line (you can add a space in it), then add the emails that you want to have shown.
Once this is added, scroll down and click on Finish button.
This will then pass the values to any field that is looking for them.
Now to make some field capture this (look for these details) we would need to use conditions as well.
Click on Conditions button and then select Update a Form Field value option and click on next.
Once this is done, just set the conditions to match what you want to accomplish. In our case it is to transfer the email from one field to another.
You can see it in action here: http://form.jotformpro.com/form/43245315147955
If you would like to clone it to your account, please follow the instructions in this guide: How to Clone an Existing Form from a URL
Now, you could also do this by using conditions to check if a certain name was selected (we are checking only if selection was made) and then insert the email instead of the field calculation value. The downside of that approach would be that you would need to insert condition for each email that you add.
Do let us know if you have any further questions.
Best Regards,
Ben
