Dynamic addition of a set of similar fields in the forms?

Hi there,

Please see the screenshot attached. I was wondering if there was a way to hit  + or ADD button in JotForm and dynamically create a set of similar fields so that users can add multiple items one below the other? 

The Line# set of rows is what I want. So users would use the + to continue adding new set of 5 fields.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.

Hi,

You can use widgets instead to achieve this.

You can find them here link: http://widgets.jotform.com/category/multiple_entries

Example:

Dynamic Textbox - http://form.jotformpro.com/form/51233651283955?

Configurable List - http://form.jotformpro.com/form/43222928180957?

Hope this help. Let us know if you need further help.

Thanks.

Hi Jonathan - That is very useful indeed. Works well!

One more question: Is there way to SAVE the submissions coming in in some sort of CSV or XLS automatically? I know emails are sent but any other storage possibility?

Thank you.

You can integrate you form to google spreadsheets so that the submissions are synced to it automatically as they come in.

There is also an option to export the submissions to an excel or CSV file under the form submissions section.

Thank you Sammy. I figured it out.

Final question: Is there a way to make one of the headers in the matrix a dropdown box with pre-set values?

I am using a Matrix Dynamique widget.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, the Matrix Dynamique widget only has a fixed static text on the column headers. Same with the other dynamic widgets, however, in the Configurable list widget you can set different input types on each column.

I hope that helps.

Hi Charlie - Thank you. This is helpful. One last question:

Can all of the fields in that matrix be made required? The problem is that if I fill up even just one column it accepts the entire widget.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Never mind. Figured it out. :)

Glad to hear that you have already figured it out. I presume you are referring to the Configurable list widget? That should be possible there as mentioned in this guide.

Hi Charlie - Yes.That was the one.

LAST QUESTION : I know I know :P

This is my form now:

https://form.jotform.me/53130227893454

I have connected the results to a Google Sheet where I have written a script. But since data comes in a single cell, parsing it is becoming a bit of an issue. So was wondering if this form can do it for me instead.

Thanks!
