[SOLVED] Options in a drop-down field disappears upon save

Have a problem with Cronoforms using the Form Wizard: Options that i have defined for a drop-down list just disappear when I press save. That is, not all disappear; there is a small subset of the options left. No matter what I put into the field, the same subset of options reappear. Looks like it is not saving at all (?) 😲

Hi ElToro1966,

This might happen if you have quotes or more than one = sign in an options. What otions test are you using?

Hi ElToro1966,

Bob, I am using the following options:

email1=Hele Norge
email2=Buskerud
email3=Aust-Agder
email1=Finnmark
email2=Hordaland
email1=Trøndelag
...

I also tried replacing the "special characters", i.e., Norwegian characters with HTML-codes, like this:

email1=Hele Norge
email2=Buskerud
email3=Aust-Agder
email1=Finnmark
email2=Hordaland
email1=Trøndelag
...

Neither one nor the other worked. I also tried to replace the spaces with HTML-non-brake-space, but to no avail. I end up having these options only (after saving):

email1=Hele Norge
email2=Buskerud
email3=Aust-Agder
...

Really odd...😲 Haven't tried replacing the hypens as well. Can they cause trouble?

Just discovered something: A lot of the options have the same output values, but chronoform discards all that have repeated values. Only one option, each with different output values, are shown... 😲

Hi ElToro1966,

I think that the options list probably gets converted to an array where any duplicated keys will be lost. Please see this FAQ - the method there will work better and does not show the email addresses in the browser.

Thanks, Bob. That works!

Couple of comments to the entry in the FAQ:

1) It is not easy to find the functions that are referred to in the how-to, so a few screenshots would be really nice.

2) The Events-tab does not show in the wizard when editing an already existing form. It only shows when you create a new form.
