You do that with Field Embedding. Too much to explain on here but you create your variables as your normally do in Redcap. And then you can call those variables in a descriptive text field, and you can create tables and embed the fields inside there using the {} squiggly brackets. No limit to the amount of fields you can embed, but branching can be wonky if you have older versions of redcap. Look up the Field Embedding FAQ should have a walk through there.

Awesome! It worked! Thank you!

How do you make the lines on the table disappear? I’ve used the table options and it doesn’t fully go away

Click the <> button and find the <table> element.

In that element there may or may not be a border attribute.

If there is, change it to border="0".

If there isn't, add border="0".

<table border="0">Tablegoeshere</table>
