    I have read some older posts about this but wondered if it was now possible to do the following in 1.4.4.6?

    <select name="subject" id="cfRegarding" eform="Form Subject::1">
			<option value="General">General Enquiry</option>
[!Ditto? &parents=`51` &tpl=`regardTpl` &display=`all` &depth=`1` &sortBy=`menuindex` &sortDir=`ASC` !]
		</select>


    Where `regardTpl` has a value of

    <option value="[+menutitle+]">[+menutitle+]</option>


    Many thanks.

      Nope, you’d need to call Ditto inside eForm::OnBeforeParse with RunSnippet API; then replace returned value into form template...

        Thanks for your reply - I’ll have to take another look as I couldn’t get the examples to work.
