Hello @Adil N ,

As per my understanding, the requirement you gave is that you want a variable where you can add the quantity for selected equipment.

I suggest creating a Select Box where you can add options (e.g., 1, 2, ... 10). If the options are unpredictable, create a Single Line Text variable and apply validation to only accept integers. Each checkbox should have a separate variable to enter the quantity, which will be visible only when that checkbox is checked (utilize a UI Policy for this).

Let me know if you want any further assistance.

Please mark my response as Correct and Helpful if it assists you.

Thanks,
Ashish

Hi @Adil N I suggest you to create a multi row variable set with two variables.

1)equipment to be moved - select box

2) Quantity - single line text
