Configurable List widget: How to use colons in the dropdown options?

    I'm trying to set up a dropdown selection for swim lesson time (ie. 10 am, 10:30 am, 1:15 pm, etc) because I want people to choose from a pre-determined list rather. But the widget reads the colon in the time (10:30 am) as a separator. Any way to fix that so it reads the colon as part of the text? Thanks!

    Hello Sarasjcc,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, it's not currently possible to use colons(:) in the options of a dropdown field in the Configurable List widget. I've gone ahead and escalated this as a feature request to our Developer Team. When or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know. In the meantime, we recommend using a dot, space, or no separator at all as seen below:

    Thank you! I've been using a dot as a separator, which is working so far. Appreciate your help!
