Intuitive UIs are what keeps me awake at night ;-)</p> <p>Anyway, it would be a nice to have feature for our purpose. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamic-drop-down-fields#post-8098 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 12:32:55 +0000 Carl Hancock 8098@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@GZA We haven't discussed adding this, currently it is just an idea so i'm not sure at this point how it would work or how straight forward it would be. Dynamically populated drop downs with conditional logic associated with them might be something we have to make API hooks for as creating an intuitive UI could prove problematic. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamic-drop-down-fields#post-8090 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 05:14:33 +0000 GZA 8090@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Carl, I would be interested in this too.</p> <p>We're currently redesigning some of our sites to take into account some of the new features in WP 3.0, namely custom post types and taxonomies.</p> <p>Now that WP supports custom taxonomies, enabling us to group certain tags contextually, we plan to use WP's native categorisation functionality exclusively for geographical values, i.e. </p> <p>- Continent<br /> -- Country<br /> --- Region<br /> ---- City/Town</p> <p>In this scenario, would it be correct to assume that using conditional logic to handle the dynamic drop downs would be easy and straight-forward to achieve the desired result, i.e. select continent (parent) and next drop down is pre-populated with associated countries (child) and so on... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamic-drop-down-fields#post-7714 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 11:34:47 +0000 psg190 7714@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the reply.</p> <p>The only limitation I could think of if using conditional logic would be the potential for several more columns when looking at reports, correct? Essentially, instead of having a single column labeled "State," there would be a column for each individual state. Kind of messy. </p> <p>AJAX and jquery are all a little over my head :(.</p> <p> If you add the functionality, then I'll certainly be purchasing Gravity Forms. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamic-drop-down-fields#post-7710 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 11:22:21 +0000 Carl Hancock 7710@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Currently that is not possible dynamically. Or I should say it probably isn't a simple thing to do dynamically. It may be possible to attach a jquery event to it and then roll some AJAX, but that wouldn't be a simple change and would be a pretty advanced customization.</p> <p>The only option outside of that would be to use conditional logic and create a drop down for each option, but that would probably be pretty time consuming. We can look into how we can handle this. I have some ideas... we may need to implement conditionals on the actual drop down values. This would be a cool feature and i'll add it to our idea list. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamic-drop-down-fields#post-7686 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 19:07:15 +0000 psg190 7686@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is it possible to auto-populate a drop down field based on the information entered in a previous drop down field? </p> <p>Example: User selects country from drop down field and then when clicking on state/providence field, only entities within the selected country are shown. </p>
