    I am making a form and I need a field related to a Simple (custom defined list). I have written this code and it shows the options of the whole field, not the Simple (custom defined list) Is ‘options’ the word to substitute?

    thanks

    <label for="coleccion_serie">Colección/Serie:</label>
<select name="coleccion_serie" id="coleccion_serie" required>
    <?php
    $coleccion_serie_field = pods('libro')->fields('coleccion_serie');
    $coleccion_serie_values = $coleccion_serie_field['options'];

    foreach ($coleccion_serie_values as $value => $label) {
        echo '<option value="' . $value . '">' . $label . '</option>';
    }
    ?>
</select><br><br>

    Without changing too much or guessing about what you’re trying to do with this form, the below modification would have the expected output:

    <style>
	label { margin-bottom: 20px; }
</style>
<label>
	Colección/Serie:
	<select name="coleccion_serie" required>
		<?php
			foreach(
				(array) explode(
					PHP_EOL,
					(string) pods('libro')->fields('coleccion_serie')['pick_custom']
				) as $option
			) {
				list( $value, $label ) = explode( '|', $option );
				printf(
					'<option value="%s">%s</option>',
					esc_attr( $value ),
					esc_html( $label )
				);
			}
		?>
	</select>
</label>

    If a specific option should be selected based on the selected value from a specific libro, the libro ID should be passed as the second argument to pods( 'libro', $id ) to get the value with ->field('collection_serie') (singular field, not plural fields for the full definition as used above).

    To output selected="selected" for the appropriate option, see selected().

    For faster methods of outputting and processing forms using Pods that doesn’t require writing your own form processor, see pods()->form() or add form="1" to a [pods] shortcode with relevant field names separated by commas in attribute fields.

    It works perfect, thank you very much.

    I usually use shortcodes but there are times when I also need to include the featured_images field or link to taxonomies

    Till next time
