Custom page with fields based on selected quantities [#2937292]

I'm selling a medal and allowing user to enter their own text for the engraving.

On a product page.
User enter 5 for the quantity and click Add to Cart.

The problem.
I then need to show a custom page with 5 textfields attribute for user to enter. (If the user enter 2 for the quantity, then the system will show 2 custom textfields etc)

How can I achieve this? Can ubercart do this? How should I approach this problem?
api.ubercart.me and ubercart.org are inaccessible. Can someone point me to a right direction? Module, code, anything.

Thanks

You're thinking about it wrong. Items with different inscriptions are different items - your customer is not ordering 5 of the same item, they're ordering 5 different things. Setting quantity to 5 should mean that you want 5 with the same inscription (a team award, for instance).

If you want to provide a means for your customer to more easily customize and order your products in your specific case, then simply create a Drupal multi-step form where you gather information from your customer, then the form submit button can be a Cart Link which adds the requested products to the cart.

Can you give me an example on how to do this?
Should I use Drupal webform?

Or can you guide me on how to load product form programatically?

If you know how to write Drupal modules and create Drupal forms, this is easy. If you don't, then no, I can't help you here in the Ubercart issue queue. But there are literally thousands of websites, videos, and documentation pages (for example https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/creating-custom-modules and https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/api/form-api) that you can use to learn how to do this. The only Ubercart-specific part is the Cart Links, and for that you can enable uc_cart_links and look at the help page. The form submit button action URL should be a Cart Link, in the scenario I describe above.

Of course, there are many ways to do this, depending on your specific needs, but this issue queue is not a place for getting detailed help in designing or implementing a web site.
