Yes, it is possible to create a form in Webflow with fields that trigger additional fields based on the user's response. This can be achieved using Webflow's built-in interactions feature. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this:

  1. Design your form: Start by creating the base form layout using Webflow's Designer tool. Add all the necessary form fields, including the ones that will be triggered based on user responses.

  2. Set up your form fields: Give each form field a unique class or ID so that you can reference them later in the interactions panel.

  3. Create the interactions: Go to the Interactions panel and click on the "+" button to create a new interaction. In the trigger section, select the form field that will trigger additional fields. For example, if you have a dropdown field with options, you can choose the "While changing" trigger.

  4. Define the interaction: In the interaction settings, choose the action you want to happen when the trigger is activated. You can choose to show, hide, or animate the additional fields.

  5. Set up conditions: If you want to show or hide specific fields based on a user's response, you can use conditions. For example, if the user selects a specific option from a dropdown, you can set a condition to show certain fields and hide others.

  6. Customize the interactions: Use the different options available in the interactions panel to customize the appearance and behavior of the triggered fields. You can animate their entrance, adjust timing, or create more complex interactions using multiple triggers and conditions.

  7. Preview and test: Once you have set up the interactions, save your work and preview the form in the browser. Test it to make sure the additional fields are triggered correctly based on the user's response.

By following these steps, you can create a form in Webflow that dynamically shows or hides additional fields based on the user's response.
