Question

I have defined a form which contains a select field. I also defined a form template.

I want the select options come from another topic, which seems working if the topic contains format

VALUE1, OPTION1, COMMENTS1 VALUE2, OPTION2, COMMENTS2

However it didnot work if I did a formattedsearch in the topic.

I am able to view the topic.

I found a link which talk about the form definition code, which I didnot know where to put.

Thanks

Read http://develop.twiki.org/~develop/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiForms, under "Defining Forms", which has been rewritten for the next release and should be clearer than the current documentation.

To answer you question directly, the current code does allow definition of form fields using searches. However, this capability has recently been provided with FormsAddOn.
