Need help with Interface Tools

[Gandalf_NotGrey]

Hello, I have a requirement for taking user input in a very specific way, and I am looking for some help with this. 

1. The user has to select one out of the five options. This will be single select and not multiple - select. User can pick only one option at a time. (Options 1,2,3,4,5)
2. Upon selecting each of these options, a sub-set appears. For example - If the user selects Options 1, a subset appears with options 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. These will be multiple select. User can select multiple options at a time.
3. Same thing for Options 2, 3, 4. If the user selects 2, then 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 appears. If the user selects 4, then 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45 appears. All these subsets are multiple-select.
4. If the user selects Option 5, a subset appears but that is also a single select. For example - User selects Option 5, subset appears with options 51, 52, 53 - User can select only one of these, not multiple.

Thanks.

@Gandalf_NotGrey  for step one use a drop down option

and then subsequent options you will need to set up a chained

Hi @Gandalf_NotGrey 
You can use the Radio Button for the Options 1 to 5 for single choice and for each Option use the Container tool to close and Open where the Details in the Container tool you can you the List tool for the Multiple Choices.
You can share out the Details for the more clarifications and to see how the Data is Organized and how to imple,emt this

@Gratus_tz  @aatalai  Please see the attached screenshots. I am doing like this, but the second option is not coming only when option 1 is selected, it is always present.

@Gandalf_NotGrey To get an interface tool to hide or show based on a selection, you need to group the tool underneath the radio button within the Interface Designer. This is not on the canvas but is a view you can use to setup the application interface.

Additionally, you need to select Collapse Group When Deselected to hide the unselected option - See screenshot below.

First: Shows where to find Interface Designer and how to move tools around. To group within, select the tool you want underneath the radio button, and move up or down until it is grouped under the desired radio button. Then select the option in bold above on the radio button.

Second: Shows the functionality within the test view of Interface Designer.

Hello @abacon - Thanks for your response. Will you be able to attach the workflow please, I am unable to understand from the images.

@Gandalf_NotGrey Here is the app that groups the list boxes into the radio buttons.

Thanks @abacon 

Please see attached workflow. I am able to arrange it as I want. Now where and how do I put the text input tool so that I can capture the user choices?

[abacon]

@Gandalf_NotGrey I am not following your request. What is the purpose of the Text Input tool? You want to track the responses from the user? is that intention?

@Gandalf_NotGrey I created a workflow I think you are looking for based on what you have said.

What you need is the condition interface tool to help trigger each section - you can't disable containers that contain interface tools so that way you had it setup won't work.

How this works - takes each input and triggers the actions to update the text input with the selections. You will notice some data prep done in the main part of the workflow to account for hour list boxes output the options. It doesn't show only your selections, it shows every option with a True or False, that has to be accounted for.
