Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I'm afraid that there is no such feature exists. You may have to write custom Javascript/jQuery code that could help you to achieve what you need. If you do not know how to do it, I suggest you to contact Javascript Pro who should help you on this custom requirement.

Dear Minesh,

Understood, I may write my own javascript to do, could you tell me how Toolset define the element's name from the dashboard? Is there any standard naming from Toolset?

Best regards,

Kelvin.

If you look at the page source or try to Inspect the specific field, you will be able to see the information about the rendered element (field).

Dear Minesh,

I know how to use the web inspector but I have no idea how Toolset name the element id, like

<div class="js-wpt-field-items">
			<div class="js-wpt-field-item wpt-field-item">
		<div id="post-textfield-7-1614689486-wrapper" class="form-item form-item-textfield wpt-form-item wpt-form-item-textfield">
<input type="text" id="post-textfield-7-1614689486" name="wpcf[score]" value="銀獎" class="wpt-form-textfield form-textfield textfield" data-wpt-type="textfield" data-wpt-id="wpcf-score" data-wpt-name="wpcf[score]"></div>
	</div>
</div>

the id post-textfield-7-1614689486 is being changed everytime, it can't be called by Javascript if I can't sure the name of the id.

Best regards,

Kelvin.

Yes - that is true. You should not target the element ID but element name.

For example:

jQuery("input[name='wpcf[score]']").change(function(){
  /// your code
});

jQuery("select[name='wpcf[my-select-field-slug]']").change(function(){
  /// your code
});;
