Dropdown in CC6

Dropdown in CC6

Populate a dropdown in ChronoForms with database values.

Overview

The dropdown was not populating because the read data action was not configured to return key/value pairs and was placed incorrectly in the form flow.
Set the read data action's "Select type" to "Return key/value pairs" and ensure this action is placed before the form display section. Then, set the dropdown's options field to the correct variable.

I am trying to populate a dropdown on a CC6 form with a field from a table. Not having much luck.

Read function: read_clubs
Model: Clubs Table:tblclubs

fields to retrieve: Clubs.club
remaining fields left in default
​
In the form fields view:
Label: Select
Name and ID: select24[]
Options: {var:read_clubs}
{var:read_clubs}

Where am I going wrong?
​
Thanks,
Karen

Hi Karen,
​
The "Select type" should be set to "Return key/value pairs" in the read data.
​
And the "options" in the dropdown should be set to
{var:read_clubs}
And the read data should be BEFORE the display section
​
