Me again! I am building an application form and want to collect existing loan details. So I want to ask, for example, how many credit cards do you have? I then want a separate group of questions, equal to the number of credit cards they have stated. For example, they say 3 credit cards, so I want 3 groups that will ask who the lender is, that the current balance is, how much is paid each month.
Can this be done?

Hi
From a fellow community member (and someone who works in the mortgage industry :)) - I don’t believe the exact setup you’re looking for is available based on the ‘on demand generated follow-up’ to a question.
A potential work around, however, could be asking a multiple choice question with a logic jump to the corresponding form. So it might look something like this:
After they complete the page with the appropriate credit card information, add a jump to the next question.
Will this help you gather the information you need?

i use a slightly different metaphor/approach to this:
the simple example at this link shows a method for asking how many people you want to add to an rsvp list - i set the max to 10 - and it uses the method above (for single questions in this example but i have used it in a question group example) to walk the user down the number of entries to make.
i have included a couple of images to show how i do the logic using a variable called namecount in this example
hope that helps

So much easier when I see it visually, des. Nicely done (and much more efficient than the method I mentioned).
That’s why
Des/Vicki. thank you both so much.

Yes, this can be done! To achieve this, you can use conditional logic in your form-building tool. Here’s a general approach:
1. **Initial Question:** Start by asking how many credit cards the user has.
2. **Conditional Logic:** Based on the number of credit cards entered, display the corresponding number of question groups.
3. **Dynamic Groups:** Each group should contain questions like the lender's name, current balance, and monthly payment.
Many form builders, such as Google Forms, Typeform, or advanced form plugins for WordPress like Gravity Forms or WPForms, support conditional logic to show or hide fields based on previous answers. This way, you can dynamically present the right number of question groups based on the user's input.
If you're coding the form yourself, you can use JavaScript to dynamically generate the question groups based on the user's input.
