Question

Form optional field with action to show or no-show a textfield

Hi,

I want to make a form with conditional logic.

I have two connected option fields (you can only choose one of them) and when you choose one, there is supposed to follow an action which shows a special new field in the next row.

Optional field A is selected -> a new field is shown in the next row.

Optional field B is selected -> a new (different field from optional A) field is shown in the next row.

I don't need this conditional field to be a form, it is only plane text, but I don't have the option in the form settings, to only select a textfield. It only allows me to use form fields, which doesn't work, since I don't want that people have to select the conditional field by themselves, because then I don't need the form.

Is there any solution for that problem?

thx

Hi

IMHO, this would be a question for the Acrobat Forum.

Probably some javascript will be required...

There is no way to do this natively in InDesign. You might want to pop over to the Acrobat forums and see what the gurus there can offer as far as advice.
