If School_B is chosen, Teacher_List_A is made invisible, and Teacher_List_B is shown, and so on.</p> <p>You can do the teacher list as a radio-button multiple choice and the whole 6 names will be shown, on selection of the relevant school</p> <p>In the Conditional Logic, you then need to set up the rules like</p> <p>If "School" = "School_A" then Show Teacher_List_A<br /> If "School" = "School_B" then show Teacher_List_B</p> <p>and so on. The selection of the school then shows or hides the relevant Teacher list, so you shouldn't see "Teacher_List_A if you choose "School_B".</p> <p>Hope that helps.</p> <p>Here's the documentation, in case you haven't seen it: <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/blog-conditional-logic-field-page" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/blog-conditional-logic-field-page</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/choose-next-option-based-on-answer#post-21295 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:32:18 +0000 kentrichardson 21295@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks. The only issue with my current method is the teacher names are in different fields. I'd prefer teacher to be one field, with a multiple choice option for each teacher's name. Is there a way to select a teacher name from a list of 5 or 6? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/choose-next-option-based-on-answer#post-21294 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 17:18:57 +0000 AMurray 21294@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>You can do that with the conditional logic.</p> <p>Is there only one relevant teacher per school? I think you have already got that working with some of the school names in your example form. You can make it show or hide the teacher name depending on the school and I see you already have the option marked as selected, so that is also good.</p> <p>You are on the right track, you just need to complete the schools and teacher lists and build the logic rules to match each one accordingly.</p> <p>It will take a bit of work to build the logic rules, but it can be done. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/choose-next-option-based-on-answer#post-21293 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 16:05:54 +0000 kentrichardson 21293@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>For example, if someone selects their school from a drop down menu, I would like to automatically select their teacher's name based on their answer.</p> <p>School A - Teacher 1<br /> School B - Teacher 2<br /> School C - Teacher 1<br /> School D - Teacher 3</p> <p><a href="http://www.bandfortoday.com/forms/machform/view.php?id=10907" rel="nofollow">http://www.bandfortoday.com/forms/machform/view.php?id=10907</a> </p>
