How to set up an external data source for Dropdown elements?

Buonasera,

tutti i nostri moduli hanno due elenchi a discesa (nominativo e commessa) che su ogni modulo si ripetono.

Il problema è che ogni volta che si inserisce, modifica un nuovo valore bisogna effettuare queste modifiche su ogni modulo, e il rischio di commettere errori è grande.

Potete trovare il modo di permettere la connessione ad un'unica sorgente dati esterna ai vari moduli?

In modo che una volta inserito il nuovo valore, questo venga automaticamente visualizzato su tutti i moduli.

Non so se mi sono spiegato.

Grazie

Hi UfficioLogistica,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, our Italian Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in Italian, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

Now, let me help you with your question. I understand that you want to have an external data source where you can connect the Dropdown elements to minimize the risk of making mistakes in adding options. Unfortunately, the feature you're looking for isn't available at Jotform right now. We've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers, but when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.

Ok

Hi,

Good news, your request can be handled with our new Reusable Dropdown widget.

It matches your requested workflow because The Reusable Dropdown widget directly supports centrally managed dropdown options shared across multiple forms using Jotform Tables.

To use it, open the form in Form Builder, go to Widgets, add Reusable Dropdown, and configure the widget settings for this form to bind your Jotform Table to our widget.

Please test it once in the form preview after adding it, just to confirm the behavior matches the form's exact setup. You can also review this guide: How to add and set up Reusable Dropdown widget.

Let us know after you try our new Reusable Dropdown widget!

Best,
