Hi All,

I have a choice field with check boxes with multiple selection, but when i select multiple, my controls jump around. I have written rules for hiding the controls for the first time you open the form. Please refer the below screenshot for your reference.

If i select one check box, i don't have any issue

Hi Cassy,

This is how it looks in design view.

I have created new list and created/applied same rules, it works well with one row, if you add new row, from there, the controls are jumping around, please refer the screenshot, i hope there is an issue with "repeating section" with dropdowns inside.

design your form controls hierarchically as follows

  • repeating section
    • panel for header row (check boxes)
      • checkbox for servers
      • checkbox for storage
      • checkbox for network
      • checkbox for database
    • panel for dropdowns row
      • panel for server dropdown *
        • server dropdown 
      • panel for server dropdown *
        • storage dropdown
      • panel for server dropdown *
        • network dropdown
      • panel for server dropdown *
        • database dropdown

apply formatting rules to show/hide single dropdown on panels marked with asterix

make sure none of controls overlaps
