    The Visitor fills the form.

    When he add passenger, its first-last name automatically adds to SharedFlihts list.

    Hi there,

    Thank you for contacting support.

    Although it might be possible to insert data from widgets, such as the Configurable List widget, into a form field using conditions, we do not have a feature that updates the option itself in a drop-down field conditionally. Currently, it is not possible to pass data from another field/widget into a widget.

    Our widgets are loaded on the form using a separate source/script that is not possible for form conditions to insert values in it.

    Currently, we only have the User Contributed Dropdown widget where respondents can contribute options in a drop-down and that option will already be available for the other respondents to select.

    Let us know if you need any further assistance.

    no, unfortunately this is not what we need.

    Again:

    Visitor fills data of all passengers for the trip.

    After filling this form each added person should be automatically apply to the dropdown here:

    I'm sorry, but it is not possible to automate it. You will have to manually add each person after a submission. Unfortunately, there is no workaround to this either.

    Thanks

    Is this a feature you will look at bringing out? It would be really useful and have many applications.
