    Using the current Form Maker and conditional formatting rules, we are able to show one of several drop-downs in section B based off of the drop-down chosen in section A. This would normally be great, as form maker is exceptionally quick and works very well. The problem is the sheer amount of options we have and how often they change. We are wondering if there is any way to automatically populate a drop down list and further associate drop-downs based on the contents of a CSV file. An example of this would be:

    John Smith – Security Group 1
    John Smith – Security Group 2
    John Smith – Security Group 3
    David Banner – Security Group 2
    David Banner – Security Group 4
    Josh Nettle – Security Group 1
    Josh Nettle – Security Group 5

    We are looking for a way to automatically create a drop-down with the options of ‘John Smith, David Banner, Josh Nettle’, with the security groups they have assigned to them in a secondary drop down based on the name chosen.

    Is this possible with Form Maker or is this more complicated than the plugin can handle?

    Hello, @polaroidv!

    Thank you for posting your inquiry!

    Unfortunately, Form Maker does not have the mentioned functionality yet. However, the feature you wish to have would be a great addition to the product. So could you please add your suggestion to our Submit Your Idea page?

    Our development team will consider working on this for further updates.
    Thanks in advance! Have a wonderful day!

    Is it possible to do this using the “Select options from database” function?

    Hi, @polaroidv!

    What Select options from database setting does is to simply take the values from a MySQL table and print on your form with Select Box, Multiple or Single choice fields.

    However, it cannot modify/regenerate the values of these fields while filling out the form, unfortunately.

    Thank you! Have a good day!
