Drop down weird behaviour

Hlelong 04 Jan, 2013
Hello,
I'm new to Chronoforms, and testing a kind of questionnaire for a festival.
I have a lot of DROP DOWN questions, all similar.
I think there are no way to create the right box once, then copy it 20 times and modify label, right ?

(as I create 2 or 3 questionnaires for a year, I admit it is not a big deal, but testing one box, and copying is much faster).
Thanks for any answer.

(and happy new year, but that's another thing)

Hi Hlelong,

It's a bit hard to tell without more details about the forms and the select drop-downs. Some suggestions though.

If you have different forms with similar content then you can copy the whole form and then edit the changes and rename the copy.

If you have the same options for many dropdowns you can copy and paste the option list between elements (open in two browser tabs or windows to make this easier).

If you have chunks of HTML that repeat then you can create them once, then use Custom Element elements and copy and paste in the HTML.

If you have long select option lists that you use frequently then you can use my custom Select Drop-Down [GH] action that will let you include and option list from a file (and more too). It costs a few dollars but can save a lot of time.

thanks for answer.
It's OK. I guess that the best way to repeat a question several times in the same form is to copy and past the choices just as you say.
