I have a select list of about 250 countries that are already in a select list in a html page. I need to get the list into a custom form in Matrix. Is there a way to do this without having to type in every option? Also, is there a way to have a re-usable select list for custom forms? Call me lazy but I don't want to rebuild this list again…
I'm pretty sure the Custom Form already has a Country field type for you to use. :) You get to select which countries it displays. If you put that field into a section, you can reuse that section across multiple forms.
Yeah I just noticed that. The problem is that it doesn't include some of the coutries we need, and we also have the "politically correct" naming for some countries. Can we edit this country list somehow?
The list is not user editable, but feel free to submit a bug report if there are countries missing/misnamed so that we can update the list. You can still create your own countries list from a normal drop-down and just re-use that across multiple forms. Remember to put it in its own section, because you can only reuse sections (not individual form fields).
