Unique dropdown menu for each selection

Questions and Help
1

Hi,

I want to know if i can use a selection from a dropdown menu uniquely?

If i have 2 options Yes and No, can i use the same dropdown menu multiple times and have different selections/results?

Currently i use a separate snippet to do the job, but i want to have it in the same snippet if possible.

Hi @Mike85 ,
I assume you are using same name for all the dropdowns. If you use a different name or no name at all, it would not make the dropdowns to reflect same value.

Quoting from docs.

  • Change the names for all the formtext commands to something different and unique. Notice how they are no longer linked.
  • Change all the names to the same thing. Notice how all the fields are now linked together, and that editing one of them updates the other three.

Option 1: {formmenu: Yes; No; name=option 1}

Option 2: {formmenu: Yes; No; name=option 2}

Option 1 again: {formmenu: Yes; No; name=option 1}

Hi @VinodGubbala ,

Thank you for your answer.

You are correct, i do use names. I try to keep things organized. Sometimes i use Data Blaze.
Also, i'd like to control the data within, to call it when need be.

If this is the only way than i'll either use dropdowns without a name, or use snippets.

Sure. You can also set different name for each dropdown, as mentioned above.
