   Hi

   We need to dynamically populate some dropdowns via ajax that have a very specific logic and data. (instead of values inserted using the form builder).

   This is easily achievable using JavasScript but apparently the form doesn't save this data that we add to the forms. Is this intended behavior and is there any way around this?

   Notes: URL parameters are simply not enough, we need dropdowns with thousands of records from our own servers.

   I'm afraid you'll also need to customize the backend PHP code that saves your form data.
   Simply modifying the front-end dropdown won't work.

   We've done this successfully. The PHP that builds the form on page load requests data from our API that we built when a given dropdown menu is flagged as such. Hit me up if you want to see the code.

   @noahlocke: I am very interested in seeing your code for this. Please contact me at william[dot]ansley[at]sunyorange[dot]edu. BTW, I clicked on your username in this forum, hoping to see contact info, but instead was taken to a log in screen. I'm not sure if that was what you intended.

   @noahlocke, I would very much like to get a look at your code and see if we can implement that. Can you drop me a line at mariorui[at]oninet.pt?

   Many thanks.
