    Hello,

    Would it be possible to add to the selection field an option if a selection is active or not? Because I work with a list of actions for a full year. Once that action has passed its time, I want to deactivate it and activate it again for next year.

    That would be a practical addition. You could add a boolean field such as Active / Inactive (or is_active) to each selection item.

    For example:

    Action

    Active

    Summer campaign 2026

    ✅ Yes

    Christmas event 2025

    ❌ No

    Annual inspection

    ✅ Yes

    Behavior could work like this:

    • Active = Yes
      • The item appears in the selection list and can be chosen.
    • Active = No
      • The item remains stored in the database.
      • It is hidden from the selection list (or shown as disabled).
      • It can be reactivated later without recreating it.

    An alternative that may fit yearly planning even better is to combine it with validity dates:

    ‘active_from’ => ‘2026-01-01’,
    ‘active_until’ => ‘2026-12-31’

    That way actions can automatically become active or inactive based on the year without manual switching.

    For your use case (a recurring annual action list), I’d keep both:

    • Active/Inactive switch → manual control
    • Optional date range → automatic activation/deactivation if needed later.

    Hello @fritsvansambeek,

    Hope you’re doing well today! Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Based on what you’ve suggested related to the Select dropdown fields, we already have a feature request for a similar module which should address the suggestion that you’ve shared. However, since this is at an earlier stages of review and impacts the core functionality of the plugin, at the moment I would not be able to share an exact ETA as to when this feature would be live.

    I also suggest subscribing to our roadmap and receiving updates about our products https://wpmudev.com/roadmap.

    As for now, as a workaround, you can have multiple select dropdown fields with variable options based on dates, which can then be conditionally displayed based on the selected dates.
    Ref: https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#start-end-date
    Conditional visibility: https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#Forminator-Conditional-Logic

    Hope this helps, in case you have any further queries or questions please do let us know and we’ll be glad to help you further.

    Kind Regards,
    Saurabh

    Hello @fritsvansambeek

    Thank you for the suggestion! I believe this could bring good benefits to the plugin and forwarded this thread as a feature request to our developers, we can’t give any estimated time or guarantee it is going to be implemented but I hope we can consider it in a future version.

    I also suggest subscribing to our roadmap and receiving updates about our products https://wpmudev.com/roadmap.

    That said, this was already forwarded to our developers and I am marking this thread as resolved, but if you have any additional questions feel free to let us know.

    Best Regards
    Amin
