Read url from parameter to dropdown

    Hello, first of all, thanks to the developers for this helpful plugin.

    I’d like to ask for a little help. Essentially, I’m reading a value from a parameter in the URL ‘X’ and I would like this parameter to be selected in my dropdown.

    [cf7-recordset id="read" type="url-parameters"]

[cf7-link-field recordset="read" field="X" value="" text="X"]

[select* X "1" "2" "3"]

// URL EXAMPLE  https://www.example.com/?X=1

    The plugin correctly reads the value and selects the correct value in my dropdown, but it removes all the other values. I would like to automatically read and select the value from the parameter but leave the option for the user to change it by opening the dropdown.

    I hope I have explained it correctly. Thanks in advance. Have a great day at work.
    Stefano

    Hello @ste9ste

    The [cf7-link-field] tag populates the field with the information obtained from the [cf7-recordset] tag. But it is not what you want. You don’t want to populate the field only to select a choice.

    So, in this case, you should use the plugin events.

    [select* X "1" "2" "3"]
[cf7-recordset id="read" type="url-parameters"]
<script>
document.addEventListener('cf7-recordset', function(evt){
if(evt.detail['recordset-id'] == 'read') {
jQuery('[name="X"]').val(evt.detail['recordset-data'][0]['X']);
}}); </script>

    Best regards.
