# Dropdown List / Checkbox Issue

 * I have two separate dropdown lists on my online form which should be selecting
   the respective checkbox in the PDF. However, only the second dropdown works correctly.
   I have tried many different ideas and variations for the first dropdown, but 
   I just can’t figure it out.
 * The form fields in question are the very first 2 on the form. Once you complete
   the form, you will get a download link to check out the PDF.
 * Any help would be appreciated. A temporary password to the site is “williamsport”.
   Thanks!

 * What is your ‘ddlDumpster’ CF7 form-tag?
 * It should be something like the following:
    `[select ddlDumpster "Up to & Including(
   7) Days - $15.00|Duration_7" "Up to & Including (14) Days - $25.00|Duration_14""
   Up to & Including (30) Days - $75.00|Duration_30" "Up to & Including (45) Days-
   $125.00|Duration_45" "Each Additional Day After 45 Days - $30.00|Duration_Additional"]`
 * Also, it looks like your duration checkboxes PDFs are named differently and, 
   therefore, are separate fields. You need to create a mapping for each field:
 *     ```
       ddlDumpster	->	Duration - Additional
       ddlDumpster	->	Duration - 7
       ddlDumpster	->	Duration - 14
       ddlDumpster	->	Duration - 30
       ddlDumpster	->	Duration - 45
       ```
   
 * I was able to get it to work myself using your PDF.
 * Let me know if that helps or not.
 * Thanks.

 * My CF7 form tag is exaclty like yours:
 *     ```
       [select* ddlDumpster id:ddlDumpster first_as_label " "
       "Up to & Including (7) Days -  $15.00|Duration_7" 
       "Up to & Including (14) Days -  $25.00|Duration_14" 
       "Up to & Including (30) Days -  $75.00|Duration_30" 
       "Up to & Including (45) Days -  $125.00|Duration_45" 
       "Each Additional Day After 45 Days - $30.00|Duration_Additional"
       ]
       ```
   
 * And my checkboxes are mapped correctly just as yours are above. For some reason,
   it just doesn’t want to work for me.

 * I ran out of ideas. I’ll have to look at your back end to figure out why it might
   not be working for you. If you don’t mind, send me a temporary wp-admin login
   to admin at maximum dot software and I will take a look.

 * The only difference that I see is that you have an extra space after the dash.
   Looks like CF7 pipes don’t work when there are 2 consecutive spaces? WTF? I’ll
   see if I can report this bug to CF7 developer. Meanwhile, I’ve resolved your 
   issue by removing the extra space.

 * Holy shit! That is a crazy bug.
    Thanks for lending a hand. I was going cross-
   eyed.
