Hi there, I'm usign wpDiscuz on a personal project where I added a custom "select" field to the standard comment form. I see I can specify the set of possibile values for this field at design time, while I would like to fill it programmatically (ex. list of values calculated server side). Is this feasible within the plugin?

I'm attaching a screenshot where the current values are static and configured in the custom form configuration section, while I would like to load them from the server when the page is loaded.

Thank you for the possible support.

Hi @marco-briz

I'm really sorry but there is no way to do that. This requires large changes in the plugin core.

Hi @elvina, thank you very much for your feedback.

I was hoping in a sort of hook-based workaround.

I also tried a client-side approach: I configured the select with dummy values in the Form configurator, and then, once the page is rendered, I replace the values with the needed ones using javascript ; unfortunately, once the "new" value is submitted, it is replaced-back with the original dummy value on server side. Do you have any additional suggestion?

Thank you.

@marco-briz,

I'm really sorry but we can't suggest anything.
First of all, we don't have the hooks for such cases, then even if we've had such a hook, we will have problems with saving the data. So, sorry but there is no way to do that.
