I am trying to create a tool to help users follow a naming convention when creating multiple (sometimes 20+) ads that need to be identified in a standard way.
In order to allow for different amounts of each field going into the naming convention, many drop-down fields have to be repeated.
Every few weeks changes need to be made to some of the options in the drop-downs, but I don't want to have to go through 20-30 versions of the same drop-down making the change 1 by 1.
Is there a way I can link all instances of the same drop-down to a common source list of options?
In the below link you can see an example of this where the "Format", "Language" and "Dims/Length" fields are each replicated in multiple sections.

Thank you,

Unfortunately it is currently not possible to populate dropdown options from any external source.
The only option available is to manually add options in the dropdown field of your form.

Hi Ashwin,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
Just to make absolutely sure, is there any way I can create my own "Pre-Defined Optons" sets?
Also, do you have a release calendar or product road map for upcoming features

I am afraid that you cannot save a predefined options set at JotForm to use it later or in multiple places at the same time.
At this time we do not have a public road map for upcoming features. We usually do announcements about new features in our blog and newsletter emails.
