Hi,
Is it possible to add additional information to a form based on a user's selection?
I'm trying to save time for the Real Estate Agents. They dislike filling out forms because they have to look up information we should already have. For example, if they indicate they are in the Chico Office, they should not need to fill in the address.
We need this information on the form because it goes to outside Admin, who will need the address.
Can we map the fields so that when an agent selects "C21 Chico," the form will populate the address?

Hi cbmpcrestedbutte,
Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. A workaround is to add multiple short texts with duplicated fields, with the other short texts hidden with a default value including the address, and then set up a Copy condition to copy the value of those short texts to the short texts that appear in the form when the C21 Chico is selected. Let me show you how:
- In Form Builder, select Add Form Element in the upper-left corner.
- Add 4 Short Texts and Shrink and Hide them.
- Select your element's gear icon to open its properties.
- Go to Advanced tab and enter the Default Value.
We will now add Short Text Fields to copy those values and map those four new short texts to the PDF. Add an additional four texts and map them into the PDF.
We'll now create a condition so that if the C21 Chico is selected, the default values are passed into the visible short texts.- In Form Builder, go to Settings at the top.
- Select Conditions on the left.
- Add a new Update/Calculate Field condition.
The conditional logic goes as follows:
Check out the screencast below to see my results:I used short texts because the address field does not allow you to set a default value.
Give it a try and let us know if you have any other questions.
