I've got a view that populates a generic select field using the usual {"value":"[wpv-post-id]","label":"[wpv-post-title]"} setup.

Is it possible to send extra data to the options- something like {"value":"[wpv-post-id]","label":"[wpv-post-title]","data-slug":"[wpv-post-slug]"}

I ask because I've tried the above and it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I assume we are talking about the Toolset Forms shortcode [cred_generic_field], see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-shortcodes/#cred_generic_field
There isn't such kind of feature within above shortcode.

You might consider custom codes, for example in your codes, there is post ID value, so you can use it to get post's slug with PHP codes, for example, this thread:
