 * Hi,
    I’m populating a select field from a custom taxonomy using the solution 
   proposed in this topic: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-7-input-fields-values-as-php-get-viarables](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-7-input-fields-values-as-php-get-viarables)
   However, the validation of this select field is broken now. I get a validation
   error even if an option is selected. I guess the plugin checks if the option 
   selected was one of the options originally defined… Doe anyone knows how to fix
   this? Thank you!

 * I too need help with a similar problem. I have two dropdowns. One where a user
   chooses which location they want (#myLocation) and another that changes depending
   on which OPTION they choose that tells them some class times for that location(.
   preferred-time). When the user changes their location, the times change. That
   all works.
 * But when the form gets submitted, those new values that I added via jQuery to
   the SELECT field (.preferred-time) doesn’t get sent. I even removed it as a required
   field figuring CF7 would check that a value exists that equals what the values
   were when the page loaded.
 * These forums really suck for getting answers. It’s been 7 months and no one knows
   how to do this?
