    I am creating a scholarship application form. As part of the application, we want to have a table to collect information about an applicant's volunteer activities. This would include the organization name, hours volunteered, dates volunteered and the duties of the applicant. The applicant should be able to add rows as needed to answer the question.

    Hi Michelle Emerson,

    Thank you for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can try the configurable list. The Configurable List widget is easy to use. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Element menu on the left side of the page.
    2. Under the Widgets tab, drag and drop the Configurable List widget into your form, or just click on it to add.
    3. In the menu on the right, customize the Fields Configuration section according to the syntax below.
    {label} : {type} : {placeholder}

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
