**Your software** My Mautic version is: 5,0,3 My PHP version is: 8.1.27 My Database type and version is: **Your problem** My problem is: Since Mautic 5 a new created form will not show custom labels, but the ones of the mapped field from the database. I.e. I have a field “gender”, defined in the database as male with the Label Male and female with the Label Female. I created a new form in which I’m using this form. In the Properties tab I defined different labels i.e. Herr with the value male and Frau with the value female. Unfortunately these labels are not shown, but the default ones from the database.

Hey @taxi, did you manage to solve the issue? I’m experiencing the exact same problem. I tested it on a fresh installation of Mautic 5.2.3 and created a new form with a “Select: Single choice” field. I mapped this field to the predefined country list and, under the properties tab, I **didn’t** select “Use assigned contact/company field’s list choices.” Instead, I added a custom list. However, as soon as I do that, the form automatically pulls the predefined country list. ![Mapped Field](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/a/ae67f48e6fe57e3ee515ba8d06b90bdc409597d3.png) ![Custom List](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/a/a1cc9dcb813a7ceb395d21a3f9d6bda14f9cc716.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/a/a16661bc33495890616d7f78e031733295b29821.png) I tried this with different fields and the same issue occurs every time. Am I doing something wrong? I’m quite sure this bug didn’t exist in older versions. Can anyone else confirm or help? ---
