Please post all the relevant code. Thank you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-do-i-create-a-custom-field-with-dropdown-choices#post-111170 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 16:06:05 +0000 gravity01 111170@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm creating a custom form field by hooking into gform_add_field_buttons on the backend.</p> <p>I am also trying to give it the same settings as dropdown in the sense that I would like to have the ability to add choices. I have added .choices_setting to the fieldSettings array for the particular field which gives me the choices label and the button to pre populate the choices (and also the enable choices checkbox)</p> <p>What it doesn't give me though is the initial three starting choices that the dropdown field gives me - all I get is and empty box here.</p> <p>The HTML being generated for this bit is<br /> <code>&lt;ul id=&quot;field_choices&quot;&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</code> so GF is clearly not generating the choices by virtue of including the .choices_setting in the array.</p> <p>So, the question is - does anyone know how to get those initial default choices showing on a custom field?</p> <p>Cheers guys,<br /> Chris </p>
