Text box with multiple choice questions

dmwhipp

I need a method to allow users to choose their attendance status, then enter text:

ARE YOU ATTENDING AS:
Parent of a current/former student. Please enter student's name ___________.
Parent of prospective student. Please enter student's name ________.
Community agency. Please enter agency name ________.
TSC faculty or staff. Please enter your department ___________.

I haven't yet found how to offer a text section with multiple choice or checklist. I've found a work around, using Single Line Text, but it's not very elegant and this seems like it should be simple, even if I have to do a little coding.

I added a text input box to the multiple choice questions which did make the text box appear, but anything typed in the text box didn't forward with the rest of the results.

Here's the form so far: https://tccwebas01.tsc.fl.edu/publicforms/view.php?id=397497

Can someone show me a working example of this? Thanks in advance.

Hey dmwhipp - So we do stuff like this all the time and typically I'll do this:

Create a multiple choice question and enter options. In your scenario we'd add simply:
-Parent of prospective student
-Community Agent
-TSC Faculty or Staff

Then after the multiple choice I'd add 3 single line text fields:
-Please Enter Studen'ts Name
-Please Enter Agency Name
-Please enter your department

From there you just save the form, go back to your dashboard, click LOGIC on that particular form and then use simple rules to SHOW the 3 single line text fields

Show "Enter student's name" if Multiple choice = Parent of prospective student
Show "Please enter agency name" if Multiple choice = Community Agency
Show "Please enter your department" if Multiple choice = TSC Faculty or staff.

End result is a nice clean form that populates the appropriate fields based on the selection they make. We have some very complicated forms that have hundreds of logic rules in place and it has turned dozens of forms into a single one just by automating what fields populate. We even have rules to show fields based on the email address the enter in the beginning of some forms (e.g. they enter user@abccompany.com and the logic rule says that if email address contains abccompany.com, show or hide the following fields...)
