I have created two lookup fields in formidableforms, in lookup 1 you choose the location and in the second field (lookup 2) there are working types, you can choose multiple work types per location, but sometimes there is only 1 choice. Is it possible that when there is only one choice that is directly visible instead of that I have to select it manually?
I have tried with some Javascript, is that the right way?

Use jQuery to change the selected indicator in the field when the page loads. The function you need to create needs to count the number of values and mark it as selected if there's only one.

"Hello Victor, first of all thank you very much for youre reaction, I made this script en put this in a html field in the used form:
(function initRepeaterLogic() { const locatieVelden = document.querySelectorAll('[id^="field_1897-"]'); locatieVelden.forEach(function(locatieVeld) { locatieVeld.addEventListener('change', function () { const veldIndex = locatieVeld.id.split('-')[1]; const werksoortVeld = document.getElementById('field_1898-' + veldIndex); setTimeout(function () { if (werksoortVeld && werksoortVeld.options.length === 2) { werksoortVeld.selectedIndex = 1; werksoortVeld.dispatchEvent(new Event('change', { bubbles: true })); } }, 600); }); });})();
It does nog work right now. I am in doubt of the field ID's. Can you look at this script, am i on the right track?
Best regards,
Piet Boekema"

So am I!
Formidable forms field ids by "field_" + [key]. Unless, you changed the field hey to be numeric, they are not formatted correctly. Use your browser's inspection tool to see what the field #'s are truly.
