Can I add a value to my drop down form based on a previous submission?

    Hi there,

    I'd like to have a dynamic drop down list in my form. 

    I want to capture a team name when a captain registers their team, so that when subsequent players access the same form, they will be able to see the previously submitted name in the drop down list. 

    Eg: 

    Drop down values: empty

    Team Captain registers team: Bears

    New drop down values (for all future users): Bears

    Is this possible?

    Hello WOBFC,

    Unfortunately no. It is not possible to dynamically add new options in dynamic dropdown widget. 

    I would suggest you to please please take a look at our "User Contributed Dropdown" widget and see if it fits into your requirement. It will allow your users to add values directly in the dropdown field.

    Hope this helps.

    Do get back to us if you have any questions.

    Thank you!
