    Hi Julie,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can use the Configurable List widget, which lets users add duplicate fields depending on the number of guests they have. This way, the number of fields will vary according to the user’s input. 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}

    How can my form allow users to enter a varying list of names? Image 1 Screenshot 20 The syntax I showed you above is the main syntax of Configurable List widget, to learn more about how to write it specifically for different types, check out the How to Set Up the Configurable List Widget guide, which explains and provides examples of how it should be written.

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