How to make a dropdown with a large set of values to pick from

For instance, I want my user to select from a list of 100 product codes. Entering 100 values in the regular dropdown field is not feasible. I'm looking to store the product codes in a place that I can easily add/change/delete values when needed, and then have the dropdown pull from that source. Can you outline how I can go about doing this with jotform?

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant. I'll do my best to help you until someone from the support team is available.

To create a dropdown with a large set of values like 100 product codes that you can easily update, you can use the Dynamic Dropdowns widget or manage your options through Jotform Tables:

Here’s how to do it:

1. Use Dynamic Dropdowns widget: In Form Builder, click Add Form Element > Widgets, search for "Dynamic Dropdowns," and add it to your form. You can enter your product codes in the widget's Values field. This allows nested options and easier management.
2. Manage options in Jotform Tables: You can create a dropdown list column in Jotform Tables where you add, change, or delete product codes anytime. Then, you can link or prefill your form dropdown from this table, keeping your list dynamic and easy to update.
3. Use Tables Prefill: Import your product codes into Jotform Tables, then use the Prefill feature in the Publish tab to map the table data to your dropdown field. This way, your dropdown pulls values from the table and updates automatically when the table changes.

This approach avoids manually entering all 100 values in the form dropdown and makes managing your product codes much easier.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
