Hi folks,
I'm not understanding how to use one of the features on Form Builder. Under the properties tab, the "show element" is what's giving the problem.
I'm an engraver, and this form is to be my order form for insert plaques. Of my elements, one is a drop down box that allows my customers to select the size plaque they want - another is also a drop down box that allows them to select the trim color of the plaque. Not all the sizes offer a color selection. So I would like the color selection box to appear only when a plaque size is selected that allows it.
My wife & I have both fooled with this and run into the same thing. I select Use a display rule / Under "if" I have plaque size / "is" / 5x8" <-- (that's one size from my drop down sizing that allows color selection) So far this seems correct. If my customer selects the 5x8" size then I want the color selection to appear.
After that I select insert & the info appears in the box below. If I've done this right, how do I apply it to the form? Of the 10 sizes I offer, 4 don't have a color selection option.
We ran into the same problem earlier today trying to insert a "friendly tip" about sizing that shouldn't appear all the time. With the same result.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Mike Brown

Two different approaches should address your needs:

1 - This may not suit your design requirements as far as 'look and feel', but you 'could' have a section of 6 plaques that also provide for a secondary choice of colour, and a second section of 4 plagues that do not. In this manner, a client could easily see in advance that 'these' 6 items allow for colour choices, the next group don't.

2 - If you still wish to 'hide' the colour choices until a client first chooses which plaque he/she wishes to order, then you would would want to go to the 'Properties' of the Colour choices, and make them conditional. Change the "Show Element" selection to "Using Display Rule". Then you can choose which form elements that will need to be 'monitored' (your 6 plaques). When the 'Condition' is configured, press 'Insert'. I guess you will have to keep adding all 6 'conditions' in series in order to get this to work, but that's the concept at least. YMMV
