 * Hi
 * Is it possible to achive a form with a field for “Number of participients” and
   then it will dynamically display a text field for the name of each participant.
 * So lets say the user enters
    Number of Particpants: 3 Then it should display 
   three Textfields which allow the user the enter the name of each of the participants.
 * My idea was to make a pulldown and use it as a variable and the show/hide the
   name-textfields. But sadly this doesn’t work
 * Any help would be great.
    thanks werner

 * In Caldera Forms 1.3 there are new form templates you can use. One is the form
   I created in this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M5RcfzAf0g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M5RcfzAf0g)
   which does exactly that: show groups of fields based on a toggle switch (could
   be a dropdown) for number of people.
