Options Picker Not Working

[tasneemimamkhan]

Hi!

Thank you for this phenomenal platform! I am having issues with the "Options Picker" data type under "Forms". Specifically, I'm having trouble creating the dropdown. In the "placeholder" field, what do I enter to create a dropdown? For instance, if I want a dropdown list to look like the following,

A
B
C

what should the delimiter be? I've tried using commas, new lines, handlebar programming, etc, to no success. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much! This is such a fantastic platform, I can't say it enough.

Warmly,
N

Thanks!

You must bind your options picker to an "Options" column type. So:

Create a new column, of type options. In here you can choose the available options:

Then, in your options picker, you must set the "Field" property to your new column:

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for the speedy response!

For some reason, I don't see that new column in the "Fields" dropdown for the "Option Picker"? I will show you a screenshot of what I mean:

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks so much!!

No problem!

You also must place your Options Picker inside a Form, and set the Form's schema to the table where you added the column.
