Display Contacts in Dropdown Field in A Form

resolver

Is it possible to create a list of contacts that could appear in a dropdown field and could be selected. I have a scenario where I want contacts to be able to select themselves in a form and instead of that being a new field with their full name, that it would pull their first and last name from their contact record. There are 100ish that would need to be displayed.

Hi @chrisbreikss , thank you for your post!

Does this mean you'd want to have a custom property with dropdown select field which has contacts' names as value? I'd assume this will require some API works🤔 

@tjoyce and @JBeatty , do you come up with an idea to achieve this? Any insights would be appreciated!

@chrisbreikss - There wouldn't be a native way to do this using the HS tools... Only possible with the API.

Have you explored giving each contact a custom url yet, with the properties in the url that will pre-fill the form fields for you?
