Hello, is it possible to create a table like the one below. Where column 1 has a checkbox, column 2 would have text predefined like below, column 3 would have a single-line field for someone to enter their initials only if the corresponding checkbox in column 1 is checked. Can't seem to figure out how to add rows to add the predefined text. Help please? Thank you!

Is there a reason you are trying to do this in a table? This could just be checkbox fields with single line fields next to them. That would make it way easier to conditionally show/require the operator initials when the parent checkbox is checked.

That said, it sounds like you're trying to convert a paper form to a digital one, and digital forms do not behave the same way as paper forms. If the same person is filling out this entire form, why would they need to initial anything?

Thank you both!

@kevin wells First thought was to do it in a table for presentation purposes but your idea makes much more sense.

@████████ great idea for another use case.

You'll likely want to create a lookup table with the contents of column 2, and then create a select query to fill those contents into your table as new rows.

For column 3, you'll just want to use field rules to set the field as required when column 1 is checked.

Let me know if I'm not making sense and I can try and give better instructions!
