Text dependend on custom fields in text area

    Hello,
    I would like to predefine different texts in an input field (text area), depending on user-defined fields.
    I have tried to realise this with groups, but the conditions do not work within input fields.
    Alternatively, I have tried the dynamic fields plugin, but unfortunately this does not work with a text area but only with a simple text field.
    Does anyone have an idea how I could achieve this?
    Many thanks for any hints!
    Bernhard

    Hi Bernhard,

    Updating one or more textarea fields based on values in other fields can’t be done with this plugin, but it’s pretty straight forward to do with a bit of JavaScript.

    Simple example: https://conditional-fields-cf7.bdwm.be/form-tester/?hash=f22539f1c6bf5aed7e639e9f2810c65f

    Hello Jules,
    Thank you very much for your quick reply.
    I don’t want to use Java Script here. Maybe I didn’t describe my problem well enough. The text in the text area should not depend on on user-defined fields but on custom fields from the article.
    I have now implemented it differently by including a php code (via shortcode) into the form, which assembles the text from text modules. It’s not very elegant, but it works.
