Hi,
I have a form on my web page with a drop-down list as one of the fields. I want to connect this field with a column from my collection which is already created. I click on this drop-down element, then “Connect to Data” and here I have to see “Connect a dataset” to connect it to my dataset, but I don’t have it.
Instead of this, I have the following:
I also added a Content Element of Dataset and connected it to the collection I need. But it didn’t help.
Question:
What should I do to connect my drop-down item to the collection and specific column in it?
Thank you in advance!
As the image shows submissions, it means that you are using Wix Forms app and not using your own user input form for which you would be able to use a dataset for.
The Wix Forms app adds a submission table and does not use a dataset.

Using the Wix Forms app is not a code related issue and therefore you would be better suited going through Wix Support for more help with this.

So, you are saying that I cannot reach elements from wix-form with the code?
Let’s say for example:
wixData.query( “collectionName” )
.find()
.then((results) => {
$w(#dropdownField).data = results.items;
})
. catch ((err) => {
let errorMsg = err;
});
If you use the Wix Forms app.

Then the users inputs will be saved into a Submissions Table, you won’t be able to use a dataset for it.

If you want to use a dataset and use code, then make up your own user input form yourself.

@givemeawhisky Now I got the difference. Thank you!
