The picklist using a script (“Red Blue Green”) works, but using it on my iPhone 16 I discovered I can’t use it because the little picklist icon to touch to get the list is not there. No way to get the list.
Just for fun I put another field with a normal picklist and that works as expected with the icon at the right and it pops up the choices.
I guess it is because the filed is a Script type and that type doesn’t have a picklist option???
So, I guess that method doesn’t work on the iPhone?
Script fields aren’t meant to have Pick Lists on them. I just checked to make sure, but the Pick List option doesn’t even appear on the Script field properties panel on macOS.
Script fields are meant to just display a value computed from other fields in your form.
There’s no picklist on the script field. This script just creates a number from your input field which is just a regular text field with a picklist associated.

So….
This script grabs a line from from the “Red Rlue Green” defined picklist and parces it down to a number. (this works on laptop, but not on the iPhone). This value can then be grabbed by another field (Picklist property)?? But a Picklist field only grabbs info from picklists, not another field.
So, 2 problems. it doesn’t work on iPhone. And picklist can’t pick from a field.
So, I guess this script doesn’t do anything for me????
Way confused.
The script doesn’t take anything from the picklist. It takes its input from your text field that uses a picklist to set your selection. It assumes that the picklist entries use the number: description format. See below how it looks on my iPhone. I called my input text field ‘picklist’ and applied the picklist to it.
Since this doesn’t work for you, just wait for the next official release where Brendan has already implemented the picklist on integer fields. I have a beta version and it works.

OH. I completely misunderstood the need for the picklist field that fed info to another field. I desperation I ended up doing the same thing with a calculated field with
STR2NUM(LEFT(; 1))
It would be nice to have it built in.
The next version of Tap Forms Pro (1.2) will have this built-in for Pick Lists assigned to Number fields. It will take the value with text from the Pick List value and extract out the number and store that in the same field with the Pick List on it.
