Chronoforms V6 - Hiding and showing a text box based on a certain value in a dropdown

ftpaul 14 Jul, 2017

I want to have a dropdown selection that has a pretty extensive option set, but if the user using the form doesn't find an option that fits what they wish to select then I want to have an "other" option in the dropdown.

When the user selects the "other" option in the dropdown, I want to show a new textbox field where that user can enter a more descriptive choice that didn't show as an option in the dropdown list itself.

Is there any way to do this in Chronoforms v6?

Say you have a dropdown where you have the Options as
b=Blue
g=Green
other=Some other colour

On the dropdown, go to the Events tab.

ON: selecting
Value: other
Actions: Show, Enable, Enable verification
Element identifier: the name of the textbox you want to show

and add
ON: not selecting
Value: other
Actions: Hide, Disable, Disable verification
Element identifier: the name of the textbox you want to show
