dropdown
under
Field Properties. Select
Help Text.
3. Enter the following description in
Description text.
4. Similarly, for the
Position
field, select
Tooltip, and add the text displayed in the below image.
Now let's create a workflow to hide the
Add Notes
field
initially.
We are selecting the
Form Event
as
Load of the form
so that the field is hidden
when the form loads.
Click
Add New Action
and enter the following snippet in the
Deluge editor:
- hide plain;
Now, let's create a workflow to show the
Add Notes
field with dynamic information when a position is selected.
We are selecting the
Form Event
as
User input of a field
so that the dynamic text appears when a choice is selected.
7. Click
Add New Action
and enter the following snippet in the
Deluge editor
:
- if(Position == "Stylist Intern")
- {
- show plain;
- input.plain = "<u>No experience required</u>";
- }
- else if(Position == "Junior Stylist")
- {
- show plain;
- input.plain = "<u>Experience required is 2 years</u>";
- }
- else
- {
- show plain;
- input.plain = "<u>Experience required is 5 years</u>";
- }
See how it works
