I have a form to create new users, with a select field to set the user role (customer/seller).
This select field have different values/labels

LABEL VALUE
Käufer customer
Verkäufer seller

Using a custom code I set the role once the form is saved.

Now, if I want to change this user, through an edit form, which is the best way to populate a generic select field with the proper user role?
Thanks

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset Forms plugin.

You will need to consider custom codes, for example, setup a custom shortcode to get current user's roles:
