Dropdown Options

How to set selected and disabled options in a ChronoForms dropdown.

Overview

The form builder interface initially only supported marking an option as selected, not disabled.
In CF v7, use the 'selected' setting to pre-select an option. For disabled options, use the 'Options types' advanced setting in the dropdown element, a feature added in a later update.

Hello,
I would like to know if there is an easy way to pass regular parameters selected or disabled in a dropdown.
For example in html it would be like this :
<select name="team">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b" selected>B</option>
<option value="c" disabled>C</option>
<option value="d">D</option>
</select>

disabled not possible, selected yes, please use v7, the interface has a "selected" setting for you to tick!

Hello Max,
Thank you for your quicik reply.
It's cool for the selected option but it would be great to have the disabled option either.
Do you think it's something that will be implemented in next release ?
Have a good day.

I have added this to the next update, you will be able to select the option type in the Options types advanced setting of the dropdown!
