I've got my form id and field id (1 &amp; 7), but the dropdown only shows "First Choice". Has any one had any luck with getting option groups using this (or any other) method?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong><br /> The form &amp; field id that is richardvav refers to is not the CSS id, but rather an id assigned by GForms that you can find in in the admin area (on your form, up towards the top of each field is the field id, and you can find the form id on the form settings page. It seems like a silly thing, but I had just assumed CSS id :).</p> <p>Works great now that I've made that change. Thanks richardvav for sharing! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/option-groups-on-dropdown-menu#post-61649 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:46:55 +0000 michausi 61649@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>+1 for optgroup! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/option-groups-on-dropdown-menu#post-49157 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:38:11 +0000 Richard Vav 49157@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It would be great to have this built-in, in the meantime you can accomplish it using a filter.</p> <p>Add a drop down to your form but delete all but one of the options then save your form taking note of the form and field id's. </p> <p>Next open up your themes functions file and paste in the following not forgetting to update the form and field ids to match the ones from your form and drop down. You will also want to edit the option values and labels (on line 5) and add in as many options and optgroups as you require.<br /> <pre><code>add_filter(&#39;gform_field_content&#39;, &#39;modify_field&#39;, 10, 5); function modify_field($modify_html, $field){ if($field[&#39;formId&#39;] == 11){ if($field[&#39;id&#39;] == 5){$modify_html = str_replace(&quot;&lt;option value=&#39;First Choice&#39; &gt;First Choice&lt;/option&gt;&quot;, &quot;&lt;option value=&#39;&#39; &gt;&lt;/option&gt;&lt;optgroup label=&#39;Swedish Cars&#39;&gt;&lt;option value=&#39;volvo&#39;&gt;Volvo&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value=&#39;saab&#39;&gt;Saab&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/optgroup&gt;&lt;optgroup label=&#39;German Cars&#39;&gt;&lt;option value=&#39;vw&#39;&gt;VW&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value=&#39;audi&#39;&gt;Audi&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/optgroup&gt;&quot;,$modify_html);} } return $modify_html; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/option-groups-on-dropdown-menu#post-48077 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:39:23 +0000 hello 48077@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Need optgroup ASAP!</p> <p>Select State or Province<br /> United States<br /> -<br /> -<br /> -<br /> Canada<br /> -<br /> -<br /> - </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/option-groups-on-dropdown-menu#post-39429 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:48:08 +0000 Carl Hancock 39429@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Optgroup is a feature we still plan on adding in the future.
