    Asked on November 14, 2014 at 11:21 AM

    First this goes without saying....I am not a programmer and I don't speak the lingo.  With that being said, here goes....

     

    Can I create sub-forms in a form so I can have multiple submissions created from filling out and submitting one "parent form"?

    Yes, it's possible to have sub-forms embedded in a parent form. You would need to use the text field in your parent form and use iframes to display your sub-forms

    The iframe code will look similar to this:

    I hope this answers your question.

    Please let us know if you need further assistance.
    Thank you.

    What I am trying to accomplish is to create a one to many relationship for each submission file.
    Can this be done by using the method you sent below?
    Thanks!

    You got that error because you're using an incorrect domain for the embedded form. Instead of this code:

    <iframe src="//form.jotformpro.com/form/43154609073150" alt="Can I add subforms to a parent form? Image-0"></iframe>

    You should use this code:

    <iframe src="//www.jotform.us/form/43154609073150" alt="Can I add subforms to a parent form? Image-0"></iframe>

    You can check the URL of your form using the Preview button

    What I am trying to accomplish is to create a one to many relationship for each submission file.

    I apologize, but I'm not sure what do you mean by this. Could you please explain us a little bit more about what are you trying to accomplish with this form?

    Please let us know and we'll be happy to assist.
    Thanks.
