Checkbox query – name instead of ID

  • Hello.

    I am working on a website for a company that needs a booking contact form and a gallery with artists that links to the form (where the option is autoselected). So we are talking about a website that will be updated a lot over time with new options to choose from (checkboxing). A thing that I am missing is a way to make this user friendly for the owners.
    The easiest solution is to add the new options in the form fields and do a URL query string to have the checkbox auto-selected on the different gallery pages.
    – However, the way that is done right now is by ID (in my case I would write ?1artists=1 for the first option). I fear that these links will break when new artists are added – or actually, link to wrong artists. Plus it’s in general not very user friendly with IDs.

    So to sum up my question:
    Is there a way to have the url query use the actual name of the options instead of the ID?

    Kind regards

    Yes it is. (Types: checkbox(single))

    Did the URL help you?

    No. I only see the ID way there – not the name way.

    Is it something the following…

    Select options:
    Version 4.xx: List of options for select, select-multiple, radio, and checkbox-multiple field types. Type the options, one per line. This entry is required for these field types. The first option of a select field type can be in brackets to indicate that it must be selected, example: [Please select]. If you add options as a key==value set (use == to separate) the value will show on the form and the key will show in the email.

    Sorry but query by name is not supported at this time. Just id. I understand your inconvenience but there is no solution right now.

    Hi @kedde since there is no option to your question can you mark this support thread as resolved.

    Thank you
