 * Hi. I have a field that has 3 dropdown options that was created through a simple
   custom defined relationship. I wish to show one of the options in a specific 
   user page through a shortcode. The shortcode that I’m using does not show the
   option that relates to the user. I need help with a shortcode.
    Below is a shortcode
   I have used. [pods name=”payment” id=”2100″ field=”card”]

 * What do you mean. The shortcode you’re using will show the `card` field for `
   payment` post ID `2100` in all cases.

 * Hi. Thank you for your response. ‘Card’ field contains 3 dropdown selections –
   
   4 Lessons, 10 Lessons and 20 Lessons. The shortcode I used does not show the 
   correct selection. I would like to be able to show one of the three selections
   on the Student Page. So if the Student Page ID is 2100, his card field selection
   should show 4 lessons. I hope I made myself more clear. I just need to know how
   to write a shortcode for this.

 * That is not how the Pods shortcode works.
    It will only show the selection for
   that field, not the options. The options are only shown when editing the Payment
   Pod.
 * Creating a dropdown is something different and not supported by Pods using shortcodes.
   
   You could look into Pods Form but since that is not really documented anywhere
   I think in your case a plugin like GravityForms would be better.
