Hi want to create a webform for a given table.
The table includes single selection fields, for example “project”, where respondents shall be able to select / add a project name.
Respondents shall be able to either
select their project from one of the existing projects or
add a new project by writing a new name in a textbox.
The new project name should also become an “option” lateron which is connected to further information. Thus, I do not want to make it a pure text field.
Could you expand a bit on what you mean by “The new project name should also become an “option” lateron which is connected to further information”? In particular what you intend by “connected to further information”.
Thanks for your response! With “connected to further information” I mean that the multiple selection field “project name” of table 1 is connected to table 2, where each of the projects contain further information (e.g. deadline).
However, the connections can be neglected in a first step. Most importantly I want to enable respondents to add another option to the existing options for “project” that can be selected. The dropdowns should look as follows:
Options cannot be added to single and multiple select columns by way of web forms. (Would go against the logic of select fields.)
In your case, a link column is the correct and better field option, especially when you want to enrich it with “further information”.
Unfortunately, new linked records cannot be created in the current web forms either. But: In SeaTable 3.5, which will be released beginning of march, this feature will be added.
