RG/table dynamically select field type for current row

[rob26]

when using a text box in a repeating group or a table, to display data you typically do this:

is it possible instead of picking a static data field, to make this dynamic? something like a user selecting an option from a dropdown to determine the data field to be shown in that column. So it would be something like “Current row’s Metadata’s dropdown’s value’s Display”

trying to make it dynamic as currently i have a condition for every option of the dropdown like this (which is tedious to setup)

You can not dynamically set the type of content on an element.

What you can do however, is in the RG have multiple groups that have the different types of data in your dropdown choice and make them conditionally visible based on whether or not the dropdown choice corresponds to the type of content for the group.
