Collection List

The source list for the Select element's content
fs-list-element
=
"
list
"

This attribute is added to the Collection List that hosts the dynamic content used to populate the Select element.

Add this attribute:
Name
fs-list-element
Copy
Value
list
Copy
Add it to those type(s) of element(s):
Collection List

Select Value

This Text Element is used for populating the Select Field
fs-list-element
=
"
select-value
"

This text acts as the source for the Select Field value. Select options are dynamically generated based on this element.

For instance, if the Collection contains 10 items, the Select Field will produce 10 options, with each option's value derived from this select-value element.

Once its content is used for the Select Field, this List will automatically be removed from the page. Its sole purpose is to gather dynamic data and is not intended for display.

Add this attribute:
Name
list-element-element
Copy
Value
select-value
Copy
Add it to those type(s) of element(s):
Text Block
IMPORTANT

You can apply the List Filter, List Load, and List Sort Solutions to this Collection List, allowing dynamic updates to the Select element's content based on user interaction.

For example, clicking a Load More link immediately increases the number of items in the Select element. Similarly, activating a Filter or Sort will update and reorder the items accordingly.
