Drop Down List doesn't show value on the list database page

    Good morning,
    I was using this plugin from last year to register marathon runners and their chosen distances (for example: “half-marathon 21km”, “advanced 10km” , “fun-run 5km”). This year the plugin worked good, and I had already 60 participants, but then the organizers decided to change a name of one of the distances: from “fun-run 5km” to “short 5km”. That means – one of my database fields (drop down list) had to be renamed on the spot. The problem is – that now it is not possible to choose that running distance at all. Not through the registration form, not through administrator rights. When I choose “short 5km”, the webpage shows sign “/” and the admin form shows “half-marathon 21km” – that is the first distance in the drop down list. How can I fix this?

    Kind regards,
    Agne

  • Hi,

    You can try this solution

    1. Download CSV for this list
    2. Change distances: from “fun-run 5km” to “short 5km”
    3. Modify the CSV file you have download and fun-run 5km” to “short 5km”
    4. Delete the old list of your participants
    5. Upload the modified CSV

    CAUTION: After upload the private id will be regenerated

    I hope my post to be usefull

    The upload with “short 5km” uploaded an empty data entry.

    Hi,

    Please check the CSV that you have download with Notepad++. The file must have your data separated only with comma like this

    first_name,last_name,distances
    chris,pis,short 5km
    bill,pis,short 5km

    WITHOUT any ”

    The problem that the name was “short 5km” with “” and CSV was confused.
    Thank you very much!
