You can accomplish this with a few checkbox fields and some CSS.

 

Create a checkbox field for each checkbox, select Add "other" choice. Leave the other values blank. Add the check CSS class.

 

Add the following CSS on the CSS and JavaScript page.

.check input[value="_other"]+label, .check label {display:none !important;}
.check .otherchoice  {margin-left:10px !important;}

Erik,

 

Is there a way to limit this CSS to only to a specific field?  because without limiting it, its affecting other "other" fields within the same Form.

 

Wanted Field with the CSS applied.

I believe it would be:

.check input[value="_other"]+label, .check label {display:none !important;}
.check .otherchoice  {margin-left:10px !important;}

I think it would be easier to create a table with one field that is a text box. This would allow them to enter only the amount of lines you specify and allow them to type into the field.

Hey Tommy,

 

Can you provide a little more explanation as to what you're trying to do?  What you're describing isn't available out of the box, but using a bit of CSS, you could create something similar.

 

Before we dig deep into what CSS you should use, I have a feeling like there might be an easier solution.  From the process level, what sort of information do you plan on users entering into these boxes?

Rob,

 

I am looking to allow users to manually input the desired $ amount, and be able to select the checkbox to make it noticeable.

Hey Tommy,

 

As Blake pointed out, the table option would likely be easier than the CSS option I mentioned.  

 

Just to be clear, you want to allow users to type out several "desired $ amounts" and select multiple with the checkboxes?  

 

What would be a reason that they would type out a "desired $ amount" but not use the checkbox beside it?

 

Let us know if you'd like any additional assistance setting up the tables and I can link you to the relevant help files!

I am looking to duplicate the form that they are currently using.  So I am not sure if mimicking what they have is a better idea, than create something else?

So the fillable field is currently just a field that all the items need to add up to under $5000 or is it that the lines for the standard underwriting need to match up with the lines for the requested underwriting limit?

 

EDIT:

I feel as though you may just want a repeatable section for them to add multiple fields to. Maybe you can align 2 tables, 1 with the first two fields and non-repeatable. The second would be with the requested underwriting limit and be repeatable. you would hide the rows and maybe need to use some CSS to hide the title of the table section from view.
