# Get multiple answers from a single question

> Let respondents enter multiple sets of information for one question, such as registering several guests or listing items in an order.

## Overview

Questions usually call for a single answer, but some questions can have more. For example, you might ask respondents to:

* Add multiple contact people or team members
* Provide several dates/times they’re available
* Enter multiple addresses or delivery locations
* Upload several files or images in one go
* List several items in an order (e.g., products, services, menu items)
* Register multiple participants for an event or workshop
* Submit several project ideas or proposals
* List multiple preferences (e.g., meal options, shirt sizes, topics of interest)

## How to request multiple answers

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enter your question">
    Choose the appropriate field from the left side bar. In our example, we'll ask if they'll be bringing guests.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add supporting fields">
    Here, we'll collect the names and emails of their guests. [Duplicate](/duplicate-fields) the fields as many times as you need.

    <Tip>
      For questions that require many fields per person or item, we recommend using a [subform](/subforms) or a [table](/table).
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use logic">
    Now, we'll make the form adapt based on their answer. Click a supporting field followed by its <Icon icon="gear-complex" iconType="solid" />, then go to **Logic** in the right sidebar.

    Let's start with the name field. We'll make this field **Show when** they answer "Yes" to bringing guests. Do the same for the email field.

    As for the fields for guests 2 and onward, you can also set them to only **Show when** the previous guest field (name or email) "is not empty".

  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish and share">
    That's it! `Publish` and share your form link, or embed it on your website.

  </Step>
</Steps>

## Let respondents select multiple choices

For questions where respondents have to choose from a set list of options rather than typing their answers, use checkboxes, a multi-select or a picture choice field. More info [here](/multiple-option-answers).
