I want to show a dynamic dropdown with a generic select and shortcode combo.
I have followed the protocol suggested for generic field but still the fields don't show up. What am I mission?
Link to page: hidden link
Form setup - hidden link
Hello,
In the screenshot you provided above, there is a custom shortcode [xyz-ics ...], how do you setup it?
You can follow our document to setup the outputs of your custom shortcode:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/forms/cred-shortcodes/#cred_generic_field
section "cred_generic_field", click link "Usage examples"
If you need more assistance for it, here is a test site:
hidden link
You can reproduce the same problem in above test site, I need to test and debug it in a live website, thanks
Luo,
The output of the shortcode is visible on the page itself (hidden link) and it follows the format:
[
{"value":"user1","label":"User1"},
{"value":"user2","label":"User2"},
{"value":"user3","label":"User3"}
]
Output sample:
[{“value”:77179,”label”:”Hopper”},{“value”:77176,”label”:”Procter & Gamble”}]
I think the format is accurate. or is it?
There are extra "[" and "]" characters in your custom shortcode outputs, please try to change the shortcode in your screenshot:
hidden link
line 21, as below:
And test again
Thanks, Luo. I was able to make it work by inserting "" on the value field.
Now the output looks like this - hidden link
Is there a way to allow users to search for names in the select drop-down list? It's a long list and I don't want them to scroll down.
I tried to use the following recommendation from another thread but it did not work : https://toolset.com/forums/topic/select-with-search/
There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset Forms plugin generic field, you might consider custom codes, for example select 2:
hidden link
For your reference.
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
