Cognito-forms – Cognito Forms: Reveal section based on Boolean field response

Barbara, great to hear from you! I'm sorry to hear that you encountered a problem while importing a form. Cognito Forms generally handles the vast majority of form imports from FormsCentral without a hitch - but every once in a while we run into a particular form that might cause problems. If you could let me know what your organization name is, I can look through our logs to determine what specifically might be causing the problem that you are seeing.

Cognito Forms allows you to post a JSON document to webhooks when new entries are submitted that accurately reflects the data being collected. Forms can be hierarchical with multiple repeating sections and even nested repeating sections, so it naturally lends itself to being expressed using JSON. Repeating sections are not stored in a single field--they are actually arrays of child entities that have their own fields and children.

For example, the form you described might look like this:

And the corresponding JSON looks like this:

As you can see, the Children repeating section is represented correctly in JSON as an array of child entities, each of which have Name and Gender fields.
