Question

how do I restrict a text field to be filled out on the answer to a previous field?


I have a multiple choice field for "type" in which I have two options: Individual or Project. Only if a person chooses "Individual" do I want the ability for them to answer the next couple of fields such as Individual Name, Age, Etc. Is there a way to have these fields greyed out as default, but open and available to complete if Individual is selected for "Type?

Yes,
Explore Dynamic zform Rules in your firm setup,

For example

When Type is Individual

Show First name
Show last name
Require First name
Require Last name.

You'll need to setup a Form Rule to either show/hide those fields. You can find the setup instructions here:

Yes, perfect. Thank you. I had not used dynamic rules before so this opens up a whole new world of opportunities for design. Thank you for your time.
