Using FILLIN with IF Field

R

R. Smith

I have a form with 3 dropdown fields. If the first dropdown contains “Yes,â€
a paragraph is shown (using an IF field). The IF field contains a FILLIN
field asking for a date.

{ IF { Dropdown1 } = “Yes†“Your due date is { FILLIN “What is the due
date?†\* MERGEFORMAT }}

The problem is that the FILLIN question is asked for all 3 dropdowns, when
only the first one is reference in the IF field.

How can I show the FILLIN question only once?

The reason you get three prompts is that you have three fields with
calculate on exit checked. Check only the last one.
