Hi, I have dropdon menu with long phrases. Is there a way to write brief notes on each option so I can know with a bird eye which is the option regarding to?
Hi,
There are a couple of ways you can do this.
The first is to use Text Blaze's note command. It allows you to add a message to the snippet that isn't inserted. For example, in the snippet below, I add a message that says which choice is made in a note based on your selection in the menu with long options.
{formmenu: default=This dropdown selection is for choice A; This dropdown selection is for choice B; This dropdown selection is for choice C; name=choices} {note}({if: choices="This dropdown selection is for choice A"}Choice A{elseif: choices="This dropdown selection is for choice B"}Choice B{elseif: choices="This dropdown selection is for choice C"}Choice C{endif}){endnote}
The second way would be to simplify the drop-down menu options and then use the {if} command to add extra text based on your selection. Here's an example:
{formmenu: default=Choice A; Choice B; Choice C; name=choices}
{if: choices = "Choice A"; trim=right}
When the menu selection is "Choice A", this will show.
{elseif: choices = "Choice B"; trim=yes}
When the menu selection is "Choice B", this will show.
{elseif: choices = "Choice C"; trim=yes}
When the menu selection is "Choice C", this will show.
{endif: trim=left}
