A dynamic field is used to load its options from another form’s entries. Based on the documentation I found, the basic setup is:
How to use a dynamic field
- p]:inline” data-streamdown=”list-item”>Add a Dynamic field.
- Dropdown for the field display, if needed.
- Load options from form entries.
- form you want to pull data from.
- field from that form whose values should appear as the choices.
Example
For example, a dynamic dropdown could:
- Job Title field
That would make the dropdown show job titles from entries already submitted in that other form.
Notes from the documentation
The examples I found show dynamic fields being used to:
- p]:inline” data-streamdown=”list-item”>make the field required
- read-only in some cases
- dynamic default value when connecting the field to a specific entry
If your original goal is specifically to pull in WordPress categories, I don’t have enough information from the documentation I found to confirm the exact steps for categories specifically. I can help you look that up more closely if you want.
If you want, I can also help with either of these next:
- using a dynamic field with another form’s entries, or
- checking whether categories/taxonomy terms can populate a dropdown
Don’t forget to add Create WordPress Post in settings and edit the Categories section.
