Re: Form entry

I tested it before I posted it. I can remove the "if" statement. Is that what you mean by shorting the handler? Here is what I don't know how to work out. I won't know what the user is going to put into the field and I don't know which cards they will want to put that on. Is that clear? Thank you fo...

Re: Form entry

Where I get hung up on is what a user can do compared to what I can do. I want the user to be able to put text into the same field on different cards.

For Example:

put John into Field "name" on card 1 and card 2
Put Tim into field "Name" on card 1-5

Template Card

In a standalone app I want to have a button that will bring up a template card (fill in the necessary information)and it will create a copy of the template card with the information. Is this possible? I hope you understand what I am trying to do.

Re: Form entry

I have my main stack as far as I can get. I think I am going to put the fields on each card. Each card will have the same fields. Is there a way to put the same information (user input) into all the field with the same name on the corresponding cards. Example: Each card will have a field named "firs...

Re: Form entry

I think I sort of get it what you are explaining. I had to read it several times for it to click. The 2nd main stack is for creating the main menu for the 1st stack. Is that correct?

Re: Form entry

I think I am getting lost with the 2nd stack. I don't understand how the 2nd stack will work with the 1st stack. I understand how the experiment script will work and I can expand the script to other options. Also, I can put the fields on the card where I want. May biggest issue is that I get myself ...

Re: Form entry

I am not following how the 2nd stack will work with the main stack. Would it be easier to put all the fields on all the cards. Is there a way to fill in the fields with the same name on the other cards with the same information for that 1st card?

Re: Form entry

Do I create a new main stack and also keep my original. I will be using both main stacks. Is that correct? Am I creating the fields on cards 2 and 3. I just want to make sure I understand.

Can you go unto more detail of what is going on. Just to make sure I am following.

Re: Form entry

I think I left an important detail. I want to be able to do this after the stack has be turned into a standalone app. I want the 3 cards to be most blank to start out, but want a button on the main menu to create 4 fields and put them on the specified cards in a row. There will be multiple different...

Re: New Card

Let me see if I understand this correctly. I can create a substack with all the cards that I will need and call those cards to be used?

New Card

I want to create a new card to be added to the stack and also add a small view of the newly created card to the first card. I want to create new cards after the app is created into a standalone app. Is this possible?

Re: Form entry

sorry to be so confusing. I know what I want to do, but can't seem to explain it. I want a button on the main card to to create fields on the other cards (like a new entry each time). The 3 cards will be the same but with a different name. If I want the create an entry for 5 times it will put an ent...
