Re: Dropdown issue

Audisho -

That fixed my problem. THANKS!

At risk of sounding like a whiner or a technophobe - this is not particularly intuitive. Once you create a dropdown field, it appears in multiple editable locations: the field, the table, in whatever screen you've installed it, its own screen, etc. And then you have to know whether to "Edit" or just "View" (I discovered that 'View" is how to change the contents of the dropdown selections.)

Again, not trying to complain but for a newbie this is more daunting than I anticipated. We're committed to using Method and to getting good at it. Can you recommend any additional simple tips or resources for a "Getting Started" level user?

Thanks again - very much appreciated!

It's a dropdown object I added.

The may be actions on the DD clearing the value but I've tried a lot of different settings and combinations and am stuck. I'd love some advice.

Audisho - Thanks for the quick response. I was using Chrome and have followed your suggestions. I cleared Chrome's browsing history and cookies. No help. Then I went Incognito. Same result.

I then tried IE with same results.

See my screen shot. https://goo.gl/photos/UWaorvzWTYDyVQTp8

Here's a more detailed explanation of what's happening:

I pull down the menu choices. All fine so far.
I click on one to select, but it makes the field go blank.
If I try to type the selection into the field as opposed to selecting from the dropdown, it takes the info.

I'm a novice at Method but it seems like it could be a setting thing - one of the steps for the dropdown wizard includes a setting for "Type in." I've turned that on and off with no success.

If you can't see my image or need more info just let me know. THANKS!

Dropdown issue

I am a brand new Method user and am having problems getting my first dropdown field set up properly.

Here's the main issue: When I access the field and prepare to select one of the dropdown choices, the choice I click on does not appear in the field. I can see the list of choices and it pulls down like I'd expect. But when I click on one of them, the field goes blank.

I noticed I can type in the word I want. But I don't want users to have to do that. They should be able to pull down the list, select one of the choices and then that choice populates that field.

Any help appreciated!
