I'm just switching to v6 so I'm not overly familiar with customizing functions with it.
I know there has to be a more simple way of doing what I want to do.

I have a set of text fields and I want the user to be able to add more if they want (up to 10 more total).
So what I'm attempting to do is hide the additional fields and use a dropdown for the user to select how many more fields they want. But in order for this to work properly (at least the way I'm going about it), for every Show Field action I have to have, I also need a Hide Field action.

In other words, user selects 3 more fields to be displayed. Easy enough. On: Selecting, Actions: Show, Value(s): three, Element(s) Identifier: text11 text12 text13.

Using this will cause the next three items to show. But if they change their mind to 1 or 2, how can I then hide the second or third field without having multiple Hide actions (or is there no other way). So if I have up to 10 fields to be displayed, I need 10 different Show actions and 11 (counting the None section) different Hide Actions.

I'm hoping there is an easier way to do this.
Thanks,
Mike

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this, but I figured out a way.
Before all of your "Show" actions, create this one: On: Change, Actions: Hide, Value(s): (Leave Blank), Element(s) Indentifier: (ID's of all of the additional fields).

What this does is cause it to hide those fields if ANYTHING is selected and then SHOW the action of the number that is selected all in one swoop.
Like I said, I'm sure there is a more efficient way of doing this with JavaScript or something, but at least this works🙂
