 * Hi [@dcrod99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcrod99/) ,
 * Did you mean that you can not create a contact form with “Dropdown” field or 
   you have a form with a dropdown field, but the form submission data does not 
   have dropdown field information? I tried both and everything is working for me.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@farjanamou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farjanamou/)
 * “Did you mean that you can not create a contact form with “Dropdown” field”
 * That’s it exactly. If I try to use Dropdown list, when saving the form, an error
   message appears, it is impossible to use this functionality. Either on its own
   in a new form, or from an existing template on WPForms.
 * Thank you for your help.

 * Hi again [@farjanamou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farjanamou/)
 * For details the message said:
 * “Something went wrong while saving the form. Please reload the page and try again.
   Please contact the extension support team if this behavior persists.”

 * Thanks for the reply [@dcrod99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcrod99/),
 * I think there is some plugin conflict on your site which is why it is preventing
   to add dropdown list to the form. You can quickly create a test sandbox site 
   with tastewp following this link [https://tastewp.org/plugins/wpforms-lite/](https://tastewp.org/plugins/wpforms-lite/)
   and you will see that you can easily create dropdowns without any issues.
 * Then you can create a staging site on your server and run a plugin conflict test
   to see if that helps.
 * Thanks!

 * Hey [@dcrod99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcrod99/) – Thanks for reaching
   out!
 * This error message “_Heads up! Something went wrong while saving the form. Please
   reload the page and try again. Please contact plugin support if this behavior
   persists_.” usually happens when the AJAX script (which allows the form to save
   without refreshing the page) is not being allowed to load. This almost always
   stems from two possible reasons.
 * 1) A file permissions issue. If you contact your host and ask them to reset file
   permissions, this should start working properly.
 * 2) Another reason is the security policies that are enforced on the server. It
   is likely that your server has Mod_security (firewall) rules that are blocking
   the save action of the admin-ajax request.
 * Your best bet to resolve this issue would be to reach out to your host to check
   these two points. They should be able to reset the file permission and check 
   Firewall settings to unblock the admin-ajax request.
 * I hope this helps!

 * Hello [@farjanamou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farjanamou/) 
   I did a
   test disabling non-essential extensions and it didn’t change anything.
 * I find another way using multiple choice box.

   multiple choice box.
