Thanks for your help. I did manage to get something working using trial and error.
I have a next set of questions. I'll give you all my form template to look at. My questions are all concerning the second form: studentrecordform and studentrecordpost. 1. I have an "input select" that has RecordType values like Admission, Milestone,... For the Milestone RecordType I need a subtype: RecordSubType. Is there any way to have that "input select" only show when the RecordType is Milestone? 2. I would like to have different templates in the studentrecordpost based on RecordType. I tried using "(:if" conditional, but that doesn't get executed in during the post. The "(if:" gets written to the new page. Maybe there is a way to set the "fmt=" to a different post record based on the input value. Then I could have a different template for each fmt post record.
