Form checkbox group format

[jptheronmd]

Hi I am trying to create default medical forms for my practice. I tend to use the checkbox group function a lot (type 7). I have several areas in a form or report that require a list of items. Sometimes these lists can be as per type 7 (separated by commas etc). But occasionally I need a list with the items below one another, for example, a numbered list for a prescription.

I have tried looking if there is any custom way to do this but could not find any information on the macro forum. Could someone please consider helping me?

If you use a line break characters as a separator instead of comma, the items will be outputted below one another

so instead of comma - /n?

No, you would need to use the #asc macro.

Code: Select all

{#asc 13}

Ah ok, not familiar with PE. Understand thank you.

How exactly would you do numbers in ascending order with each subsequent addition?

Descending order....

1. dfdsfdsf
2. sfdsfdsf
3. ddsgdsgds

Ok so I understand how you can use {#asc 13} for a group checkbox list or similar. But what if the list has a variable number of items, which need to be added manually. If you use manual input then there is no way to get the asc13 to work.

Sometimes my list may be 1 item and sometimes 20 items. Each item needs to be entered manually? Is there anyway to get this to work?
