How to populate a dropdown list from a Table?

    Imagine I have a form with a field of the type (mere example) Dropdown Menu.

    But instead of having to put the various options, these are in a table (jotform table or Google table).

    So when I update the table, I will have more items available in the form.

    Is this possible?

    Because so far I've only seen ways to write data into tables and not read data from tables.


    Thanks for the information.

    Hi Jorge,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform support. Unfortunately, the dropdown list options can only be populated manually via its field properties. There is no way to automatically populate the options of this field based on data from a table.

    I would suggest you please take a look at our Iframe Embedded widget and see if that fits your requirement. It will allow you to embed Google Sheets on your form. You may also like to take a look at the following guide: How To Embed Spreadsheet in Your Form?
