Is it possible to have a dropdown menu instead of a multi-select for choosing the category in a stand alone entry form? I’ve read the doc and searched but not found anything about this.

Thanks!

Their custom field forms seem to hinge on setting the ‘name’ attribute to be the submitted parameter. You can change the input field types to be whatever you want. What I’m saying is, you should simply copy the ‘name=_____’ portion from the current multi-select input to a new dropdown input tag you’ve defined, and you can do similarly for other inputs required by inbuilt forms.

I was able to get it to work like so:

{category_menu}
            <label>Category</label>
            <select name="category">
            {select_options}
            </select>
        {/category_menu}
