    Hey,
    Im using a custom tag with wpcf7_add_form_tag. But it doesnt show up in “select field” dropdown. What am I missing?

    functions:

    add_action( 'wpcf7_init', 'custom_views_post_title' );
 
function custom_views_post_title() {
    wpcf7_add_form_tag( 'custom_views_post_title', 'custom_views_post_title_shortcode_handler' );
}
 
function custom_views_post_title_shortcode_handler( $tag ) {
    global $post;
    $args = array( 'post_type' => 'myposttype',
      'orderby' => 'date', 
      'order' => 'DESC',
      'posts_per_page' => -1 );
    $myposts = get_posts( $args );
    $output = '<select name="jobs" class="jobselect" autocomplete="off"><option value="Bitte w&auml;hlen">Bitte w&auml;hlen</option>';
    foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post);
	   $title = get_the_title();
	   $id = get_the_ID();
	   $output .= '<option value="'. $title .'">'. $title .' </option>';

	endforeach;
    $output .= "</select>";
    return $output;	

}

    my shortcode:

    [custom_views_post_title]

    I’ll look into it further, but I think the main problem is that your field does not have a name as far as CF7 is concerned. I see you create a name hard-coded in the shortcode,

    but you would need to pull it dynamically and use your shortcode like this:

    [custom_views_post_title jobs]

    This way, if all is implemented correctly, you would see a field named “jobs” in the dropdown list.

    yeah, I already tried that, but it still wont show up. BTW: it works in my email template.

    Got it: ‘array(‘name-attr’ => true)’ did the trick.

    wpcf7_add_form_tag( 'custom_views_post_title', 'custom_views_post_title_shortcode_handler', array( 'name-attr' => true ));
