I am trying to get the info from a selected drop down to changed the data in the form, while the user is still on the form. I can do some of this with conditional logic, but the list I have is very large and subject to change which would mean a lot of conditions that would need to then be adjusted....basically: Get the selected drop down and have that choice display somewhere else on the form while the user is still filling the form out.</p> <p>Ideally:<br /> I have a drop down menu which is populated from a taxonomy. I would like to access the "Label" when the menu item is selected, I would also like to be able to access the "Value" of the selected menu item--by access these I mean insert them into the form at different spots.</p> <p>Scenario:<br /> 50 Items.<br /> Each item will have 1-4 as a value.<br /> your filter = {drop_down_label:57}<br /> Each item name (label) will correspond to an image.<br /> /img_{drop_down_label:1}.png</p> <p>I found a couple of other posts that did similar things to this (at least to grabbing the label) but they weren't quite accomplishing the same thing. </p>
