    In the example, what happens when all of the tickets are sold? How do you keep track of how many to start with and how many are left after selling them? I need to decrement the ticket count from a starting number and when they're all gone, pop up another box that says Wait List.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out to us for help. Can you provide more details about what exactly you're trying to do? You've mentioned something about selling tickets, where you want the number of available tickets to decrement. Do you want it to decrement every time someone selects it and submit the form? If so, then you can use the Ticket Purchases widget. Let me walk you through on how to add it:

    1. In Form Builder, in left side of the page, click on Add Element button.

    2. In the Form Element panel on the left, go to the Widgets tab.

    3. Next, search for Ticket Purchases and add it to the form.

    4. Finally, set up the necessary ticket properties and click on Update.

    It does not put form fillers to a wait list once a specific ticket runs out, but it becomes unavailable instead.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
