I know this should be really easy, but I cannot find where the items can be added to a dropdown or a listbox. Can anyone help me with this? I don't want to edit the html files by hand.

Hi Brusus,
Go to the element tab and select how many you want
You can't edit their names. Only add and subtract. Not sure why CC hasn't done a fix for this yet.:/
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

You have to edit them after export.

I'm afraid it is not so easy. You need to edit it after export.

Do you know when CC is going to "fix" that? Seems it should have been included in the "no coding" solution, right?
But...now I could stop lookin' and get coding...
Thanks Eric and Inger

If you have a lot of drop-downs it might be better making the forms with CC's Form Designer - that's what I did for my complicated forms with multiple drop-downs.

For simple forms the editing is easy but you have to remember to re-edit the html every time you upload that page.

In such cases I just leave the 'Options' as long as I'm working on the site, then after my last save and export, I change the text. It's no saying how many times you would have to correct it if you were doing it every time. Just accept the defaults until the end.
