This is an example build using Dynamic Actions when you want to include choices for your supporter to choose a specific item and different options will then appear. For example, choosing a College within a University will then display different choices to direct your funds for that College. It relies on a dropdown for creating the choice in the Dynamic Action. For more examples and a general overview of Dynamic Actions, click here.
Add a separate Section if desired. Otherwise, open the section within your form where you want to place the form elements. For more information on adding sections, click here.
Add the Drop-Down Form Element

- Provide a Display Label

- Provide a Report Label if desired
- This may be useful if the Display label is long, both for reporting and general usage
- Example: College

- Click the + to the right of a choice to add a new choice above that choice
