Dropdown Selection in Multi-step form that will write to a specific database

I am creating a site that allows people to upload content to the site. I have finished everything except how to get them to be able to pick a section from a pulldown, say Category 1. At that point, all the user input will go to the Category 1 database only. So if they pull down to Category 2, the user input would go to the Category 2 database.

Can anyone help me with how to do this?

  1. What does mean…

…to upload content to the site…
…what kind of content?

  1. You do not use code, right? You are using —> a Wix-Form, or do you use a custom created form?

  2. Do you use a connected DATASET?

You should describe your given project-situation a little bit more detailed to get better answers.

Some screenshots of the setup of your form / database?

Sorry I was not more detailed. Here is the need.

  1. I have a form that allows a person to fill out specific information in regards to their book. The first question is a pulldown for Genre. If they pick Action, then the remaining information they provide will write to the Action dataset only. If they pick Advice, the remaining information they provide will write to the Advice dataset only and so on. So the question is, how do you have user input from a pulldown to determine which dataset is linked and written to?

  2. I used a multi-step form.

  3. No, I am not a coder. I am trying to do as much as I can on my own as I don’t think I can hire a coder.

Ok, i do not know how to achieve your wished functions without code.
I can just imagine, that it is even not possible without any coding.

But surely you can develope your wished feature when using some code.

But just as an idea to try to achieve your function without coding.

  • you have your page
  • you place a → Multistate-Box onto your page
  • you create several states inside the state-box, which will represent several different scenarios.
  • you place several datasets onto your page.
  • you place in each of the states of the multistate-box your MULTIFORM.

Now the possible solution:

  • you connect STATE-FORM-1 with DATASET1 (which is connected to DB1 )
  • you connect STATE-FORM-2 with DATASET2 (which is connected to DB2 )
  • you connect STATE-FORM-3 with DATASET3 (which is connected to DB3 )
    …and so on…

Just some theoretical thougths


Yes, your page gets messy going this way (if it is possible).
