drop down list

Post by meridian_bioscience_europe_srl »

I am trying to create a form with a drop down list of States. How can I get the states into the form without imputing 50 states one at a time. I have a text file of a list of states, but nothing I do with import or data does anything to the drop down.

Hi, meridian_bioscience_europe_srl

unfortunately there is no way to fill out a dropdown without entering each item manually, unless you have another form which has a field this has already been done in. In that case, you can open the first, and simply copy (ctrl+C) the form field to be pasted (Ctrl+V) into the new document.

Kind regards,
