Hi, wondering if it’s possible to have a dropdown list in Typeform that is linked to a spreadsheet so that when the spreadsheet list is updated the Typeform dropdown list is also automatically updated?

Hi
I also have another Typeform relating to staff feedback when they have supported the research studies. On this form the Staff members change quite often so again it would be super useful if I could link the Typeform options to my spreadsheet where I capture staff information.
Hope this feature can be looked at as I’m sure many users will find it really useful.
Thanks.
cheers

Does anyone have more experiences with this tool?

Hi,
I’ve seen in the docs, you can use a plain text list as the options for a dropdown field. But is it possible to use a custom (remote) source for a dropdown list, rather than static, hardcoded list?
My use case is I want users to choose a ‘thing’ that they’re interested in. This list of ‘things’ is changing regularly (daily/weekly), so a manual update of the form with new data would be susceptible to human error.
I’d considered using the Create API to update the form field when the data changes on my end, just like this post. However, I’d rather it was a ‘pull’ when the form is rendered rather than a ‘push’ when the data changes - I was hoping there would be a more ‘native’ way of doing this.
I’d looked in the docs for things to do with ‘dynamic dropdown’, ‘custom data sources’ or ‘dynamic picklist’ and things like that but couldn’t find anything.
Thanks in advance

Hi
I would also be very interested by having the possibility to load dynamic data in my form elements.
For example, when creating a question, having the possibility to post to a custom URL all the custom variables, and retrieve the response back after calculations on our end.
This way, possibilities would be endless.
Just chiming in to say that the functionality described by
+1 for also finding this feature tremendously helpful, I have a form that is sent out every month, and the key to the rest of the automation is a dropdown list, however I don’t want to manually update that manual drop down each time.

Hope there is already news about this feature?

Does anyone use it before? I couldn`t
thanks for any help

Hi Liz,
Here’s what I was planning to do,
I have a dataset of countries, their states and cities … wanted a way to have dynamic dropdowns so that they can select their country, then only options related to their country’s states would be shown in the next drop down and finally cities related to their state would be shown in their next dropdown …. managing this from a google sheet is easier then doing so many logic jumps and maintaining data.
Thanks,
Hi! I did it using GSheets > Zapier > Typeform.
Just have the data as X,Y,Z without quotation marks nor {} neither []. Just your data separated with commas and then you get option1,option2,option3 in your Typeform dropdown/multiselect.
Very easy!
