Hey!

I want to create a standard text for a form, but I’d like it to automatically adjust certain details based on answers given earlier—such as the time and date. How can I create something like that?

Hi and welcome to Thunkable!

For user input, you’d want to use a [Text Input](https://docs.thunkable.com/app-design/ui-components/basic-components/text-input) component. There is a video at that link that shows how to do text input validation.

Can you give a **specific** example of information that would be input/determined earlier and how you would adjust other data on the screen?

Hey!

I want the following;

I have text for example as follows:

“My name is {NAME} and I am {YEARSNUMBERS} years old”

the {NAME} and {YEARSNUMBERS} are selected with maybe a dropdown menu or fill in option.. I don’t know if this is possible?
