BUG: Form dynamic select field not fetching from database

[grace_cuevas]

• Goal: I want my select field to dynamically get values from a database, but it isn't connecting properly

• Steps:

1. Create a Retool form
2. Create a select field
3. Set it to get options dynamically from a Retool database
4. See issue (screenshot 1)

• Details: This was and still is working fine in my old forms (though sometimes I had to keep refreshing to get the options to stick), but for new forms and new select fields, I am no longer able to set the options dynamically

• Screenshots:

Hey, grace_cuevas,

Could you provide more information on how you are mapping your information on the select component? I've made a test myself and seems to be working fine. If you add the proper column on the content section, it will show the options on selection.

@Bruna_Tourinho that's for an app form component. This issue is for the Retool Forms product (which is different from an app). Sorry if this was unclear!

Hi, @grace_cuevas

Ok. I am seeing the same thing as you. This seems a bug actually.

It doesn't show the options even when published.

Maybe @Tess could help?

Hi @grace_cuevas,
This is in fact a bug in the current Retool Form. Until it gets fixed, I would recommend using a Retool App and using the form component inside the app. Here the options will dynamically update from your database.
