hello for some reason i can’t get the data from the selectbox to validate.
I keep getting the message:
Some errors were detected in your form:
The following required field(s) are missing: Province
if I remove the brackets. the error message reads
Some errors were detected in your form:
Province » Incorrect value
I am a web designer new to forms and fairly new to Modx.
here is my code from the chunk:
