But it works.<br /> <a href="http://pastebin.com/NscibjBi" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/NscibjBi</a></p> <p>I used a multiple select-menu instead, as gforms didn't allow an ordinary select-menu to send multiple values. I removed the multiple="multiple" using preg_replace, so I use regular select-menus. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/three-instances-of-same-select-menu-without-duplicating#post-93602 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 14:26:55 +0000 gressli 93602@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hm.. Guess I'll have to try then..</p> <p>I could use something along these lines: <a href="http://pastebin.com/iBziKuFk" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/iBziKuFk</a><br /> But the 3rd choice is overwriting the others, as the select-choices sent to the form processor aren't in an array ;\</p> <p>However, that's a quite dirty hack, I believe. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/three-instances-of-same-select-menu-without-duplicating#post-93567 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 13:11:35 +0000 David Peralty 93567@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That is correct. As far as I know, there is no easy way to make it so that you can have the data compiled correctly without creating 30 select menus. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/three-instances-of-same-select-menu-without-duplicating#post-93562 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 13:02:22 +0000 gressli 93562@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for getting back to me!<br /> I'll explain a bit further;<br /> Say I have a list of 20 different classes. Each class may have up to 10 teachers.. I've created one select-menuwith the classes, and a select-menu of teachers for each class (10 select-menus) with conditional logic depending on the class chosen. If I want to create 1., 2. and 3. choices, how would I do that? Wouldn't I need to create 3 select-menus for each class, 30 select-menus in total? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/three-instances-of-same-select-menu-without-duplicating#post-93558 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 12:48:59 +0000 David Peralty 93558@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Why can't you duplicate it in the form admin? I guess I don't understand exactly why the built-in way isn't a valid way of doing it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/three-instances-of-same-select-menu-without-duplicating#post-93534 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 11:29:48 +0000 gressli 93534@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> I was wondering how I can have three instances of the same select-menu in a form without duplicating it in the form admin?</p> <p>I'm creating an application form for a school. When chosing class the different teachers available is listed, using Conditional Logic (One select list for each class).<br /> I'd like to give the applicant the option of having a 1. choice, 2. choice and 3. choice regarding choice of teacher.</p> <p>And I'd hoped someone might help me :)<br /> Thanks in advance! </p>
