cognito-forms
I'm creating a form that has a drop-down box 'number of drivers' which has up to 4 options: (i.e. 1 driver, 2 drivers, 3 drivers & 4 drivers).
When I select 2 drivers, lots of fields pop up so each driver can enter their separate details. I've done this using the 'Show this when number of drivers is 2'. Now I want to do the same, but when I select 3 drivers I want all 3 lots of fields to pop up & when I select 4 all 4 fields to pop up.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I am a developer for Cognito Forms. We do not offer the ability to transfer the choice field on one form into another form. You can however let users type in their own choice by selecting Radio Buttons as the type and then checking the box next to "Allow Fill In".
Users will then be able to select a blank text box and type in their own information.
We use JSON as our data transmission format when posting data to a client's site. When we post to a website we post as JSON. You will need to parse that data on your end. You can have your form post to requestb.in to see what the data looks like.

=TextField.Substring(0,2) +":"+ TextField.Substring(2,2) +":"+ TextField.Substring(4,2) +":"+ TextField.Substring(6,2) +":"+ TextField.Substring(8,2) +":"+ TextField.Substring(10,2)
=Choice = "First Choice" ? 10 : Choice = "Second Choice" ? 20 : Choice = "Third Choice" ? 30 : 0

The best way to capture data for a variable list of items in Cognito Forms is to use Repeating Sections. This will allow you to create a form with a single Drivers repeating section that allows users to click Add Driver to add additional drivers.
Alternatively, if you prefer to use conditional visibility and a series of sections, you can make Section 2 visible when
=NumberOfDrivers >= 2, Section 3 visible when=NumberOfDrivers >= 3, etc. Pro-tip: once you create the first section for driver information, you can copy and paste the entire section for each additional driver.
