Hi all,

I'm very new to RSD so I'm probably missing something obvious.

I'm creating a contact form so added a form container and added a drop down element, changed it to 5 options but for the life of me I can't see where to change the text (the drop down just contains Option 1, Option 2, Option 3 etc.) How do I change these ?

Hi Lee,
Their not editable within the app as of yet. You will have to edit them outside of RSD.

Eric, thanks for the reply.

I have to say this is a bit of a shock as I thought I'd bought a finished product

Can you explain how to edit outside of RSD - any examples etc. ?

Also, is there any way to add 'hidden' fields ?

no wonder I can't figure out how to change options

Of course it is a finished product!

Form elements are only placeholders to visually give a representation of the form. If you are trying to make a functional contact form, use our Web Form Builder.

why even put forum elements in there then if you're going to need to build it in another app? treat it like you treated making responsive menus and just leave the necessary things required for a proper responsive site out

Because many of our users Mark know how to write the backend scripts to process the form and they want that freedom to visually build it and tie it into their own scripts.

Menus are way different than a form though. Once you visually build a form, you still need a script to process the form. You need to write validation rules, tie in payment processing and deal with the way the emails arrive in your inbox just to name a few things. It is a very large process.

Remember, RSD is not a form creator. It is a responsive website designer. That is why we have Web Form builder. If PHP coding is not your forte, use Web Form Builder. It does it all.

I can wiggle my way through php and figure out what I need. But IMO labeling form fields really has nothing to do with writing php. I have a script and know the variables I need to make it work. Now I just need to label my variable fields. RSD has 90% of this already built in. I can create a simple form in RSD with certain fields but other field options like dropdown and listbox were left off. I can still create a form with RSD but have to manually edit those fields.
