How to display data of my WebFlow CMS into a select field form?

[Victor_Mattoso]

Hello guys, Is there any way to use data of my CMS in a form select field?
I searched a lot and probably I will need to use embeded code.
Thanks

You already know the answer then haha. Jokes apart,I’m pretty sure that there’s not a native way to achieve what you’re going after natively, meaning that you will need to embeds

I want do something complicate:
I have staffs under each gallery. i need people be able to send form who they meet. So I need them select the gallery, then select the staff under it. I did a graph but not sure where to fill in the value. I am not a programmer, but Is there a manual i can study?

it would help a lot if you shared the code on this page/the video @PixelGeek, but thanks anyhow!

This is amazing @PixelGeek

I have a country list, with 250 countries. Is it possible to work around the limit of 100 items pr page? And is it possible to have different Text and Value?

Great video! @PixelGeek
I would like the option value to get the value from one CMS field and get the option name from another CMS field. Both the name and value are in the same CMS item.

Example: Name: City, Value:“60017a1484ac3f6d53bed535”

Is there a way to get this to work with a multi-select drop down?

[ma_dev (Martin Achterhof)]

I would like the same! Do you have the answer on this?

Cheers

<script>

$(‘.select-item’).each(function(){
var s = $(this).text();
$(‘.select-field’).append(‘’+s+‘’);
})

Hey @PixelGeek thanks a lot for the great vid! You really helped me out
I’m trying to get multiple CMS text fields to show up in the select field.
Can that be done? I figured I’d just copy the function for each CMS field, but it didn’t work out.
Here’s what I tried (i removed the open and close characters so it shows up as text):

script>

$(‘.nom’).each(function(){
var n = $(this).text();
$(‘.select-field’).append
$(‘.deputation’).each(function(){
var d = $(this).text();
$(‘.select-field’).append
$(‘.poste’).each(function(){
var p = $(this).text();
$(‘.select-field’).append
$(‘.parti’).each(function(){
var a = $(this).text();
$(‘.select-field’).append
(‘’+n+, +d+, +p+, +a+‘’);
})

</script

Unsurprisingly, it didn’t work out (looks like I can’t guess-code after all XD)

As long as I keep only the first function (in this case, “n”) it works, but once I add more, it stops working

Any solution?
Cheers!

Has anyone solved this? An example from with a country list — I need to assign both name and value for select items from CMS.

Hi ! Thank you so much for this @PixelGeek ! It worked all the way until i had to hide my collection list, i don’t know if i did anything wrong, but as soon as i remove the visibility on it and republish, my select field doesn’t work anymore. Is there anyway you can help ?
