I am trying to: I have a contact form on the single page of products (hidden link). in that contact form, there is a drop-down to list the values of a custom field (colour). I'm able to get the values of the custom field using this solution (https://toolset.com/forums/topic/im-trying-to-load-post-titles-in-my-contact-form-im-using-contact-form-7/). But the issue is that the dropdown is listing the values for all products. I need to get the value of the particular product in that custom field.

This product is added under the woocommerce product-cat taxonomy.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link and click on enquire button

Can you please help me to achieve this desired output.

Can a single Product have more than one color? Do you want your Users to be able to select a different color? If neither of those is true, then you can do something like this:

global $post;
$output = '<select name="color">';
$output .= '<option value="' . get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-color', true) . '">' . get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-color', true) . ' </option></select>';
return $output;

Hi,
Can a single Product have more than one colour? Yes, for eg: if the product is a pen drive it will be in multiple colours.
and custom field color is a repeated field.

Your solution is only giving me one color of the particular product, even if the product has multiple colors. i want to show all the colors for that particular product in the dropdown.

Please help me on the same.

Get the colors postmeta values for this post as an array, then loop over the array items to concatenate the options.

global $post;
$output = '<select name="color">';
$colors = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-color', true); // 3rd param 'true' because we want an array
foreach( $colors as $color) {
  $output .= '<option value="' . $color . '">' . $color . ' </option>';
}
$output .= '</select>';
return $output;
