Creating a Dynamic User Interface with drop down box?

[CCrawford94]

Hello All, 

I am trying to create a dynamic interface that supports up to five options. What i want to do is give the user an option to pick a number 1-5 and then based on the number they provide I want to provide that amount of text boxes in which they can enter information in to be used in the workflow.

For example The user selects 3 in the drop down list. I then display 3 text boxes named ID1, ID2, ID3. They can then enter the IDs in which they want the workflow to run for. 

Does anyone know if this is possible and what i can do to achieve this?

Thanks,

@CCrawford94,

Using Alteryx, this is a trick.  I can see doing it in a way via smoke & mirrors.  If that is okay with you, then I'll explain.

Maybe this is an acceptable way to achieve your desired results?  You'll have lots of configuration behind the scenes to make this work for you.

Cheers,

Mark

This would work perfectly! Unfortunately it is not allowing me to open the workflow. IT gives an error that the workflow was created in a later version of Alteryx.

using notepad, you can change the line of:

<AlteryxDocument yxmdVer="2018.1">

to 

<AlteryxDocument yxmdVer="8.1">

You'll be able to read it after you save it.

Cheers,
