Perch Forms checkboxes from Category Set

MikeHarrison · Jul 2nd 2019

I am building a site for a recruitment agency in Perch Runway. I have a category set called locations, with a few categories listed in it. As part of the CV submission process I would like the applicant to indicate which locations they are interested in. I am using the Perch Forms app. Currently I am hard-coding the options like so:

Code

<div>
<perch:input type="checkbox" id="location_london" value="Yes" label="Interested in London Vacancies"/>
<perch:label for="location_london">London</perch:label>
</div>
<div>
<perch:input type="checkbox" id="location_shropshire" value="Yes" label="Interested in Shropshire Vacancies"/>
<perch:label for="location_shropshire">Shropshire</perch:label>
</div>
<div>
<perch:input type="checkbox" id="location_west_midlands" value="Yes" label="Interested in West Midlands Vacancies"/>
<perch:label for="location_west_midlands">West Midlands</perch:label>
</div>
<div>
<perch:input type="checkbox" id="location_staffordshire_stoke_on_trent" value="Yes" label="Interested in Staffordshire / Stoke-on-Trent Vacancies"/>
<perch:label for="location_staffordshire_stoke_on_trent">Staffordshire / Stoke-on-Trent</perch:label>
</div>

Ideally I would like those to be generated from the category set, so the client can manage the categories themselves. Is this possible, and if so what is the best way of going about it?

Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,

I don't think you can dynamically add form fields as Perch needs to check the submitted data against the form template for validation.
