Sharepoint 2013- document library form with fields that show up on conditions?

Question

Hi firstly I am new on SharePoint and this platform and very eager to learn

Is it possible to make a form that tailors the information entered based on the choices made within the form?

I have a choice column, 100%, and 80% if 100% is selected then the form remains the same but if 80% is selected two more column should appear.

Thank you in advance.

You can use a Jquery in your Edit Form Page of your document library to show and hide fields based on the choice field selection as the following:

• Navigate to your document library page.
• In the URL address only replace AllItems.aspx with EditForm.aspxto be like this http://SiteURL/<Library Name>/Forms/EditForm.aspx
• From Right Setting Gear > Click on Edit Page.

• Add web Part > Add Script Editor.

Add the following code.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>

$(document).ready(function(){
//Show/hide columns based on Choice Field Selection
$("select[title='Field1']").change(function() {
if ($("select[title='Field1']").val() != "Yes")
{
$('nobr:contains("Field2")').closest('tr').hide();
}
else
{
$('nobr:contains("Field2")').closest('tr').show();
}
});
});

</script>

Where Field1 is the Choice Field Title and Field2 is the Field Title that you need to Show / Hide.

For Example: the Choice field title in your for is called Percent so replace Field1 in the above code to Percent
