Hi there

I am wondering if there is a way I can have a field to auto-populate based on a previous answer.

E.g. if they choose to attend EVENT 1, it will auto-populate that it is 3 days ‘Number of Days’ field, or if they choose EVENT 2, it will auto-populate that it is 5 days etc.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance

You can do this in a formula field, but not in a number field. In a formula field, just put something like this formula:

SWITCH(
   {Event Selection Field},
   "Event 1", 3,
   "Event 2", 5
)
