    Good day,

    I followed these steps in order to capture the data from the Height Converter widget, that "Short Text" will serve as a repository to make my form recognized in Airtable fields.

    I use conditions to do that.

    The problem is, the result was different from what I am trying to accomplish. Are there any ways to map the data from feet and inches separately?

    Please see the attached GIF


    Also the widget can't be detected or listed in Workflow

    Hi Dave,

    The widget has scripts on it on the backend, so it's not possible to copy the numerical value only. I suggest to use the Configurable list widget, but this means it will not behavior like the Height Converter where you can easily switch the unit. In this example, I used feet and inches. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element + on the left side.

    2. Click on the Widget and select Configurable List.
    3. Click on the widget and click on the wand icon on the right side.
    4. On the Field Configuration, you can use the configuration I used as shown below.
    5. Set the Minimal row number to 1 and finally, click on Update.Height Converter widget: Ability to copy values to a short text field Image 2 Screenshot 41

    You can still use the condition to copy the Configurable List string value to a short text. You can check this demo form.

    As for your other question, I've moved that to a new thread. You can check that out here.

    Reach out again if you have any other questions.
