 * Hi, I’m trying to create a Select2 dynamic dropdown using this plugin and I have
   selected the ‘New Category’ option to create a custom category. How do I then
   populate this list with options for the dropdown menu?

 * Hi [@robins3000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robins3000/)
 * dynamic dropdowns are dropdown fields whose option list are managed dynamically
   through either,
    -  a taxonomy list (that appears in the information metabox once you save your
      form – see top right of [screenshot 5](https://ps.w.org/cf7-grid-layout/assets/screenshot-5.png?rev=1751953))
    - a list of existing post titles
    - a custom filter function
 * When you enable a dynamic dropdown to be a jquery select2 field, you can also
   enable your users to submit values which are not in the option list. To do this
   you have to enable what select2 authors call tags. You do this by simply adding
   the class ‘tags’ to your dynamic dropdown shortcode (see [faq](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-grid-layout/#faq)#
   5)
 * If you look at the Filters & Actions helper metabox in your dashboard screen,
   you’ll find hooks that allow you to filter the added values.
