How to write formula in the field in Custom Form

[MariolaWi1]

Hello:) 

In the Custom Form I have Multi-select dropdown field 'Risks / Issues', then the next field is Single Line text 'Comments' 

How to write formula that if you select in the 'Risks / Issues' 'no risks/ issues' then in the 'Comments' field will appear n/a text. Otherwise leave empty. 

I tried this one in the Comments field: 

IF({DE:Risks / Issues}="n/a", "n/a", "")

but doesn't work 

Can someone please help 

Thanks, 

Mariola

Hi Mariola,

Since "Comments" is a text field, the calculation will not work for that. You can try the following:

• Add a display logic to the comments field and hide it when n/a is selected for risk
• Or add a validation on the comments field, such that when n/a is it shows an error message to keep the comments field blank. See documentation below:

  The example at the very bottom of this page should work for you:
