 * Is there a way of tagging each drop down option?
    I have an seo guy who wants
   to link to aweber custon fields and he requires each dropdown option is have 
   it’s own tag.

 * Hello [@sguk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sguk/),
 * Do you mean the dropdown value? If so, you can use the pipe (`|`) character to
   set custom values to your dropdown field, this way:
 * `[select your-options "My 1st Option|option-1" "My 2nd Option|option-2" "My 3rd
   Option|option-3"]`
 * You will see this in front-end:
 * ![Screenshot of an animated dropdown menu  with three sample options](https://

 * And this will be the value on your email output if you select the first option:
 * `Your Options: option-1`
 * Please see [Selectable recipient with pipes](https://contactform7.com/selectable-recipient-with-pipes/)
   to learn more.
 * Best regards,
    Yordan.

 * Thanks for your reply.
    It’s more the backend thank frontend.
 * Eg normally the drop down would have say
    [dropdown-tag]
 * And in the email it would show the option selected.
 * What we need ideally is
    [dropdown-option1] [dropdown-option2] [dropdown-option3]
 * Or so we identify the selected option and map it to an action on aweber (triggered
   from custom fields)
 * At the moment there is no way of mapping the selection as only the whole dropdown
   is tagged.
