Multiple Choice Linked to Reference Data

It would be nice to have Multiple Choice fields linked to Reference Data.

If a user selects an option on a field, the multiple choice field would auto populate.

Or, after a user selects a multiple choice field, the next fields could auto populate.

  You could use multiple conditional fields to do either of the two scenarios you mention, but it would be very burdensome and somewhat clunky depending on how many choices there were, etc.  For instance:

  - If a user selects an option on a field, the multiple choice field would auto populate.

  • You could do this by adding multiple multiple choice fields (or short text fields, etc) after the field where the user selects an option and then make each one conditionally appear based on one of the choices in the field where the user selects the option.

  - Or, after a user selects a multiple choice field, the next fields could auto populate.

  • You could do this by adding the fields you want to auto populate after the multiple choice field and make each one or each set conditionally appear based on a choice in the multiple choice field.

   

  I think the underlying idea behind this is very similar to this:

  I would like multiple choice field linked to reference data so that I can use the checkbox button (to select more that one option) but from my reference data list, not just from 15 options

  Sorry, I just realized you're saying you need more than 15 choices and I don't think that's possible right now.
