Hi,
I was wondering how I can have three instances of the same select-menu in a form without duplicating it in the form admin?
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).
I'd like to give the applicant the option of having a 1. choice, 2. choice and 3. choice regarding choice of teacher.
And I'd hoped someone might help me :)
Thanks in advance!
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.

Thanks for getting back to me!
I'll explain a bit further;
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?
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.

Hm.. Guess I'll have to try then..
I could use something along these lines: http://pastebin.com/iBziKuFk
But the 3rd choice is overwriting the others, as the select-choices sent to the form processor aren't in an array ;\
However, that's a quite dirty hack, I believe.

Hi again,
just wanted to let you know that I solved it with a dirty hack. But it works.

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.
