Select field

A Select is a dropdown list. It opens on an empty “Please choose” line, so visitors have to pick an option themselves.

<label>Topic
  [[topic]]
</label>

Settings

Setting	What it does
Options (value : Label)	One option per line, such as sales : Talk to sales. Visitors see the label. A line without ” : ” uses the same text for both.
Default value	The value picked first. Several, separated by commas, when Allow several is on.
Fill from	Where the starting value comes from. See Fields.
Start with an empty choice	On by default. Off: the list opens on the first option.
Empty choice label	The text of that empty line. Empty: “— Please choose —”.
Allow several	Visitors can pick more than one option, holding Ctrl or Cmd.
Required	Visitors must pick an option to send the form.

In the mail

• [topic] prints the label of the option picked, such as Talk to sales.
• [_raw_topic] prints its value, such as sales.

Conditions on groups compare the value. Several picked options print separated by commas.

Message

Message	Default text
Option not on the list	Please pick one of the options.

Visitors see it if what was sent isn’t one of the options, which mostly happens with bots.
