Exactly what I needed to know. Where is this in the documentation? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-dropdown-field-to-hidden-fields-in-form-administration#post-74674 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 12:18:38 +0000 Alex Cancado 74674@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You are almost there, but you have missed a step. You need to give a unique class to your setting and then configure which field types will be able to see it. You are using admin_label_setting, and that setting is not supported by the hidden field, so that is why it is not displayed for that field. You will want to do the following:<br /> 1- Change admin_label_setting with a unique class for your new field property (i.e. my_custom_setting).<br /> 2- Assign your class above to each field type that you would like this setting to apply to.<br /> More specifically, if you would like this setting to be visible by hidden fields and text fields, add the following lines to your my_gform_editor_js()<br /> <pre><code>fieldSettings[&quot;hidden&quot;] += &quot;, .my_custom_setting&quot;; fieldSettings[&quot;text&quot;] += &quot;, .my_custom_setting&quot;;</code></pre> <p>I hope this helps. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-dropdown-field-to-hidden-fields-in-form-administration#post-74522 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 16:46:41 +0000 lewismedia 74522@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>In dire need here guys. I realize it's the weekend, but is anyone around? Should I just create a custom field type that acts the same way as a hidden field, and apply it that way instead? There must be a better way... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-dropdown-field-to-hidden-fields-in-form-administration#post-74404 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 16:23:26 +0000 lewismedia 74404@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've successfully added a dropdown option in form administration directly under the field label using gform_field_standard_settings. This dropdown is showing for ALL fields EXCEPT for the hidden field. Is there a separate hook I need to use to add the dropdown to the hidden field type as well?</p> <p>Here's the code I'm using to add the dropdown. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <pre><code>// ADD ADF FIELD IDENTIFIER TO ALL FIELDS add_action(&quot;gform_field_standard_settings&quot;, &quot;my_standard_settings&quot;, 10, 2); function my_standard_settings($position, $form_id){ // Create settings on position 25 (right after Field Label) if($position == 25){ ?&gt; &lt;li class=&quot;admin_label_setting field_setting&quot; style=&quot;display: list-item; &quot;&gt; &lt;label for=&quot;adf_field&quot;&gt;ADF Field Type &lt;!-- Tooltip to help users understand what this field does --&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; class=&quot;tooltip tooltip_form_field_placeholder&quot; tooltip=&quot;&lt;h6&gt;ADF Field Type&lt;/h6&gt;To pass a form value as an ADF form field, please select an option from the list below.&quot;&gt;(?)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/label&gt; &lt;select id=&quot;adf_field&quot; name=&quot;adf_field&quot; onchange=&quot;SetFieldProperty(&#39;adf_field&#39;, this.value);&quot;&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;0&quot;&gt;PLEASE SELECT&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;CustomerName&quot;&gt;CUSTOMER : Name&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;CustomerEmail&quot;&gt;CUSTOMER : Email&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;CustomerPhone&quot;&gt;CUSTOMER : Phone&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;CustomerComments&quot;&gt;CUSTOMER : Comments&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;VehicleYear&quot;&gt;VEHICLE : Year&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;VehicleMake&quot;&gt;VEHICLE : Make&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;VehicleModel&quot;&gt;VEHICLE : Model&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;VehicleComments&quot;&gt;VEHICLE : Comments&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;VendorName&quot;&gt;VENDOR : Name&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;VendorContact&quot;&gt;VENDOR : Contact&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;VendorPhone&quot;&gt;VENDOR : Phone&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;VendorEmail&quot;&gt;VENDOR : Email&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;ProviderName&quot;&gt;PROVIDER : Name&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;ProviderService&quot;&gt;PROVIDER : Service&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;ProviderURL&quot;&gt;PROVIDER : URL&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;ProviderEmail&quot;&gt;PROVIDER : Email&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value=&quot;ProviderPhone&quot;&gt;PROVIDER : Phone&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;?php } } // SAVE AND LOAD FIELD SETTING ON ADMIN SIDE add_action(&quot;gform_editor_js&quot;, &quot;my_gform_editor_js&quot;); function my_gform_editor_js(){ ?&gt; &lt;script&gt; //binding to the load field settings event jQuery(document).bind(&quot;gform_load_field_settings&quot;, function(event, field, form){ jQuery(&quot;#adf_field&quot;).val(field[&quot;adf_field&quot;]); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;?php }</code></pre>
