    Hi Jotform!

    I would like users to select an option from the drop down and have additional invisible fields in the spreadsheet populated.

     

    So if a user selects "Windermere" the spreadsheet would look like the attached image.Populated spreadsheet fields based on a drop down selection Image 1 Screenshot 20Is this possible? If so could you show me how :-)

    It is possible to add additional fields inside of your form that will be hidden. Hidden fields will not be shown inside of your form but it will be shown in Google Spreadsheet or Excel. Also you will need set conditional logic  to Update a form field value inside of your form if you want to pass data from dropdown field to some hidden field.

    Inside of my demo form I have added three hidden fields and I have set conditional logic to pass values to those fields based on selection in dropdown field.
