    I have made demo form for you  https://form.jotform.com/60052068098960 

    I would suggest to you to use field label, otherwise your form might be suspended by our phishing system.

    If you want to create some other form this guides can help you:

    One thing I would like to do...how could I make that "area of interest" box a dropdown menu? 

    Thanks!!

    Just edit your form in the form builder, delete that field and replace it with a dropdown field under Form Tools. Shrink the dropdown field afterwards and position it exactly to where the old field was :)  That's how you replace a field in the form builder. 

    If you need further help, let us know.

    Hi Elton, 

    Thanks for the message.


    When I tried that, it didn't keep the field name in the same style as the other field names (word set inside the field box).

     

    Please advise.

    Thanks

    I think you are referring to the hint example. If so, you can set the Empty Option Text in the dropdown properties:

    If not, let us know and share us your form here.

    Here is the form I am referring to:

    https://form.jotform.com/60052068098960

     

    The only thing I want to change, is to make that "area of interest" box a drop down with options. The problem I am having, is that when add a new field to the current form, the name does not sit inside of the box, like all of the current ones do.

    Thanks

    The "hint example" did not create the exact same look for me as the other fields, but it's close enough. Thanks!

    I cloned that form and made the changes you want. Feel free to clone it back if you like.

    With regards to the hint text (empty option) on dropdown, it is indeed not similar to the text fields because it is considered an input text with empty value rather than a hint text. I don't think there's an available solution for this without using javascript.

    Hope this helps!
