    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 Submission 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.

    Hello loveforachild,

    Thanks for waiting patiently, and sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm pleased to inform you that you can customize the colors of the dropdown options. Let me show you how:

    • Click on the three-dot icon next to the related column title
    • Click Edit column preferences
    • Apply Changes

    This is great and very helpful, thank you!!

    Is there a way for this change that happens in "Tables" can be transferred to the data responses in the "Inbox" forms? I changed all of my colors in the "Tables" but when I view it in tables, the colors did not adjust.Inbox: Change colors of the Dropdown Options of the submissions Image 1 Screenshot 20

    Hi loveforachild,

    I understand you're trying to transfer the color changes you made in Jotform Tables to the data responses in the Inbox view. Unfortunately, the color customizations made in Jotform Tables do not automatically transfer to the Inbox view and I can't see an option to edit it in the Inbox. I have informed our Developers Team about this. As soon as we hear back from them, we’ll update you here on this thread.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
