    Hi! Is there a way to change my drop down responses to red, yellow, and green? Instead of the pink, purple, and blue?

    Hi loveforachild,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotofrm Support. I cloned your form but I can't see any assigned color to your dropdown options. Check out my screenshot below to see the result: Jotform Inbox: Change the Color of the Dropdown Options Image 1 Screenshot 30 If you want these dropdown options to have assigned colors, we can inject custom CSS code into your form. Let me show you how:

    1. Copy the CSS code below:

    #input106, #input108, #input109, #input111, #input112, #input113, #input114, #input115, #input116, #input171, #input172, option:nth-child(2) {
        background: red;
    }
    #input106, #input108, #input109, #input111, #input112, #input113, #input114, #input115, #input116, #input171, #input172, option:nth-child(3) {
        background: yellow;
    }
    #input106, #input108, #input109, #input111, #input112, #input113, #input114, #input115, #input116, #input171, #input172, option:nth-child(4) {
        background: green;
    }

    2. Choose the Paint Roller icon located in the top-right corner of the Form Builder.

    3. Navigate to Styles at the top of the Form Designer window on the right.

    4. Under Inject Custom CSS, enter your code; all modifications are automatically saved. Jotform Inbox: Change the Color of the Dropdown Options Image 2 Screenshot 41 If that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, can you explain a bit more so I can help you better?

    How to change the color of the dropdown options? Image 1 Screenshot 20 Screenshot 10Is there a way for the responses to be color coded green, yellow, red? So that after someone submits a form and I see their answers, those are green, yellow, and red?

    Hi loveforachild,

    Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to automatically apply color coding to submission data in the Inbox or Tables based on the answers selected. While the feature you’re looking for isn’t currently available at Jotform right now, we've gone ahead and escalated your request to our Developers. Exactly when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.
