Editing Drop Down List Options

Drop Down Lists can be found on the form either as a custom field or a shopping list payment item.  You may want to edit, add, or delete the options for an existing list.  This can be be done with the Acceptiva form editor.

To Edit Drop Down List Options:

1

In the form editor for the desired form, navigate to the custom field or shopping list item you wish to edit (click either 'Custom Fields' or 'Sections').

2

Existing drop down list options will be listed below the field or item's details. These can be re-ordered by dragging and dropping them in to place and edited by clicking the edit icon. You can also pick an option to be the default selection. This setting can be removed by clicking "Remove Default" under the header for the Default column.

3

Click the green 'Add Options' button to add more drop down list options. In the resulting open text box, you will see some examples of how to format your entries. Each new option must be entered on it's own line.

4

Click 'Apply Changes and Preview.' The new drop down list options will be added at the bottom of the options list. You may leave them there or drag them into place.

5

If you want to completely replace all the current options in the drop down list, click the 'Delete all existing options' checkbox. This will delete the current options and replace them with the new options you're saving.

6

To permanently save your changes, click the 'Save All Changes' button at the top of the editing panel.

Note that some drop down lists may show an option for a 'Custom ID." This data field is used in cases where the reporting should display different data from the option's description. The Custom ID field will only appear for drop down lists with options that already have custom IDs. If you would like to have Custom IDs added to drop down lists that do not already have them set up, please contact Acceptiva customer service.
