    How can I collect the data from each line about to use in a calculation field

    for example, if TBE Member = "yes" I would assign a value, but how do I get the data from line 2 and line 3 etc?

    Hi Joel,

    As a workaround, you can use the standard Short Text, Email, and Dropdown Elements instead. This way, you'll be able to assign Calculation Values to the dropdown options and get the values of other dropdown elements as well. The users will not be able to add more rows, but you can add multiple rows and just display them based on their answer. Let me show you how to set it up:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element.

    2. Find the Section Collapse from the Form Elements and add it to your form.

    3. Add the Short Text, Email, and Dropdown elements to the form.

    1. From the Form Elements, find the Short Text element and add it to the form.
    2. Do the same for Email and Dropdown.

    1. Select the Section Collapse, then press Shift on your keyboard and click on Meal Choice.
    2. Click on the Duplicate button on the top-right portion of the page.
    3. Find Meal Choice from the dropdown, and click Duplicate.

    6. Lastly, set another for 3 people.

    Widget: How to assign calculation values to different rows in Configurable List widget? Image 10 Screenshot 229Since you used the dropdown elements, you can then set Calculation Values in them. Here's how:

    1. Select the dropdown and click the Gear icon.
    2. Go to the Options Tab.
    3. Add the Options of your dropdown.
