Dynamic Dropdown displays Similar Options Values from the data set only once

shahabpk 14 Nov, 2020
When read_data set has multiple records with same values for the field selected as Option Values, it is listed only once in the dropdown and rest are stripped automatically eventhough Option Text are different. Is it an intended feature or a bug?

Hi shahabpk,

HTML requires that dropdown values are unique as they are used to identify which entry has been selected.

Hi

This was not the case with Chronoform v6 ( I reverted to v6) and also the following article says it needs not be, even though it is preferable. There may be requirements as mentioned in the article where you need same Option Values for different Option Text. My read_data table is among one.
