Is it possible to have a populated country list drop down as a field in application forms?
1 Like
My recommendation is to use the “Category Questions” for this is.
You create as many you need in Wagtail admin “Apply → Category Questions”.
Then add a “Category” field from the “Custom” section on application forms and set the “Category Questions” it should use.
I have seen it used to add list of Countries, Regions, Focus areas etc.
Thank you for the direction. Now to get to typing all 200+ countries

If you are comfortable with SQL this should save you some time.

I’m glad you find it useful!
Do not hesitate to ask question here or create issues on gitHub.
Thank you! We are moving into a new granting phase and I stumbled upon this amazing tool so trying to integrate it into the existing workflow and seeing whether it can eventually replace it
We’re excited to learn that you’re using Hypha! Please do not hesitate to reach out to us here or on GitHub if you have any questions about the platform. We love to get feedback from new adopters.
The populated geographic location list drop down field on application forms could render multiple ways depending on how you create the form. Here are examples:
Example 1:

The above examples are category questions added to an application form. Both are set to “Multi select”.
They look different since one has less than 32 options and the other 32 or more. This is done to get the best user experience.
Rendering a country field with some 200 options as checkboxes would take a lot of space and be hard to navigate.
With only a few option (less than 32 in case of Hypha) checkboxes give the user a quick and easy experience.
If 32 is optimal I do not know but it is somewhere around there.

Thank you so much @dluong for the kindness extended. I will make sure to reach out! I really want to grow with this platform and see how I can help take it even further.
I would love to attend the next meeting and the subsequent ones as well. I will look ou for it.
