    Hi,

    Me again :)

     

    If I use a checkbox, can I change the value that is should register?

     

    e.g.  Medical diet (checkbox)

    The value that it register is "Medical diet" but I would like to have a "X" if the checkbox with tagged?

     

    Thank you

    Hello GP,

    You may like to take a look at our "Converted selector" widget and see if this fits into your requirement. This will allow you to show the user a set of options to choose from but in the background, associated values will be saved in submission.

    Do try it out and get back to us if you have any trouble.

    Alternatively, you can assign calculation values to your check boxes under the options for the check box, radio button or dropdown options. Please check the screenshot below:

    Great!

    It works.

     

    Another question, I ask the customer for his birthday but I need to seperate day - month and year

    in normal case it shows the complete date in my report but can it be seperated or do i need to create different fields?

     

    Thanks again
