We would like to attach a document in the confirmation email message. Is this possible? I try to use "uploaded files" but nothing happens.

I am a developer for Cognito Forms. We recently released support for conditionally visible fields, sections, content, etc. based on custom calculations on forms. As part of this we also conditionally hide these fields when sending email notifications with submitted form data. Unfortunately there was a small bug related to conditionally hidden content fields, which your form uncovered (because it was quite complex!). So while the entries are being saved, the email notification is not being sent and the confirmation is not displayed. The fix is currently being tested and will be deployed soon. You can avoid the issue for now by not sending detailed email notifications.
Thanks for also submitting this as a bug report! Bug reports through our product are the appropriate way to report issues, as this site is intended as a forum to ask questions about how to use Cognito Forms and other web apps to solve problems.

Although we don't have the ability to hide the price attached to a choice field, you can use a Calculation field.
I used a simple Choice field and a number field as shown below.
Next I added a Calculation field and gave it a simple name, I then set this field to show "internally" or "never". The calculation you will need to add to this field is below:
=(Choice = "First Choice" ? 10 : Choice = "Second Choice" ? 20 : Choice = "Third Choice" ? 30 : 0) * Quantity + " " + "Dollars"
This will take the choice option and assign it a numeric value (eg. 10, 20, 30) and then multiply that number by the number in the Quantity field. I am then adding the word "Dollars" to the end, this is to show that extra text can be added after the value has been calculated.
You can then navigate into your Submission Settings and enable the Confirmation option. You will need to be collecting the users email address so that you can assign the email field using the drop down under "To". In the message text block you can place your hidden Calculation field in your message, like this:
This will result in an email being sent to your user that looks like this:

We do not offer a way to upload a file to Cognito Forms, to then include the file in the email confirmation. You can upload the file to your website, then provide a link to that file in the email confirmation.
