    Question: Do you have any children?

    Answer in Drop down box Yes or no

     

    If yes is selected then I need another box to appear that says : How many? Drop down box answer: 1,2,3,4,5 . Which ever number is selected another box for each child should appear with a drop down box for : Please state date of birth

    Hi.

    It is possible with JotForm. You can do the statements with show/hide a form field condition.

     

    Here is how to do this:

    1) Click on Setup & Embed.

    Thanks Beril, I cant get past "show/hide a form field" I get to the stage of selecting the line where it says: Do you have any children?

    I then can see where the answer is "if yes" then show...but I have no idea how to instruct the program what to show?

     

    From here I am lost

    When you get to if "field" state "is filled"(or any other state you decide), you will see "Do" and "Field", simply you select what to "Do"(show or hide) and select which Field will obey that action. 

    Example:
