Hi guys I am a total newbie to Mautic and I am trying to create a form to send to brides asking them questions about their wedding to use as the basis for a quote. I am trying to put either a dropdown checklist or radio buttons to tick. I just can’t work out what to put in the contact field or the properties. Can anyone help a girl out please. Windows 10 My Mautic version is: 2.15.1 My PHP version is:7.0.3 **Your problem** My problem is: I can’t work how to create the form fields eg either radio group, or dropdown checklist for my form. These errors are showing in the log: Steps I have tried to fix the problem: by reading what I can, and viewing videos. I am a total newbie. thank you for your helo. ---
