Is there an add-on to create drop down answers in the back of a basic card?

Hello!

I want to edit basic cards which I have already made where the back is a list of answers.

e.g.

Prostatic hypertrophy
Glaucoma
Hepatic disease
Bronchitis

I would like to be able to click on an answer and have an explanation come up (see images)

The way I have been achieving this so far is with the HTML but it’s time consuming.

e.g.

<details>
<summary>Why?</summary>
<p>It has local optima</p>
</details>

this is the result:

****Is there an add-on or something to make this easier?

You can use multiple fields (e.g. Answer1, Explanation1, etc.) or use custom syntax like answer1 [[explanation one]] then change it with JavaScript like this:

<div id=t>{{Front}}</div>


<script>
var e = document.getElementById('t');
e.innerHTML = "<details><summary>" + e.innerHTML.replaceAll("[[", "</summary><p>").replaceAll("]]", "</p></details>").replaceAll("<br>", "<br><details><summary>");
</script>

Is this the kind of add-on you are looking for?

Although it is a quite popular request, so there are many other card template and pure JS solutions here on the forum, for all kinds of use cases.

Not quite, I’ll add some photos for clarity.
