If you want to have custom options you can do that with that

[[combobox||name=DisabilityDay||name_literal=Day||required=required||options=First option#Second option]]

Edit form explain

"Name for personal purposes" - form name. Visible then form is filled in a separate window E.g http://demo.livehelperchat.com/form/fill/1

Content - form content

Name attributes - what fields should be visible in collected data list.

Introduction attributes - what fields should be visible in collected data list. In a second column

XLS Columns - this field defines order of exported data in XLS list.

name=Name;attr_name=Name||name=Surname;attr_name=Surname||name=Email;attr_name=Email||name=Supporter Number;attr_name=SupporterNumber||name=Date of birth year;attr_name=BirthYear,-,BirthMonth,-,BirthDay||name=Home Phone;attr_name=HomePhone||name=Mobile;attr_name=MobilePhone||name=1st Line of Address;attr_name=LineOfAddress||name=Post code;attr_name=PostCode||name=Wheelchair;attr_name=Wheelchair||name=Ambulant;attr_name=Ambulant||name=Date on Proof;attr_name=DisabilityYear,-,DisabilityMonth,-,DisabilityDay||attr_name=file;name=File

There i should highlight few things. Each column definition has two attributes

• name - name of the xls columns
• attr_name - name of input field. column value can consist of multiple input names. DisabilityYear,-,DisabilityMonth,-,DisabilityDay

Recipient - email address of e-mail which user should get notification about newly filled form.

Post content after form is submitted - what message show to user after form is submitted.

Custom pagelayout - if you are building extension and it has it's own pagelayout you can define it there. E.g form, extensionpagelayout etc.

Active - is form active and users can fill it.
