Sending Present Value Of Dropdown To Next Page

Need help
1

Hi,
I need a help - I’m new to Bubble and it may be basic.
I have Page 1 - that has a dropdown and many values in it. I choose a random value say “TESTVALUE” and click a button “Submit”. It needs to send the “TESTVALUE” to another page Page 2. Do note that it should not send any other value from the dropdown. Could you let me know how to do it?
I noticed this thread: Sending data from dropdowns where they use URL / parameters. Is it possible not to use that method and is a different method possible - just to send it like how we send text?

Several ways to do it…

  1. Don’t have a new page, use a group and show/hide.
  2. Store it in a field on the “Current User”.
  3. Set the page type of page 2 to be whatever the type of the drop down is, and the “send” that

Thank you Nigel. I am doing method 3. But when I “send” the value of the drop down, it is sending all the values in the dropdown to the next page. I want only the one that was used to ‘submit’ - just the one that was in focus.

How is this set up in your app ?

Hi Nigel, I’m not using ‘Event’. I’m sending the type ‘Page 1’ that I have defined that contains the list of all the choices. And sending the Option caption ‘QuizEvent Name’ - which has all the values. I need to send only the current value of the ‘QUIZEVENTNAME’. I am also not able to find the option ‘Event’ as a ‘Types of Choices’ like in your screenshot.

You want to send the PAGE1 thing not the QUIZEVENTNAME (which will be a text).

So “Data to Send” will be the Dropdown’s value.

I’m able to do that much. But what happens is that after sending ‘QUIZEVENTNAME’ to the next page (page 2), page 2 receives all the values in the QUIZEVENTNAME field in the table - as in - if there are 5 QUIZEVENTNAMEs, it received all of them, rather I want it to receive only the one selected.
In page 2, I am doing a check like this - is this correct?

or is there any “current QUIZEVENTNAME” that was selected in the dropdown at that instant?

Thank you Nigel, I was able to receive it correctly: I guess I had to change the type of the page 2 to “Page 1” and receive ‘Current Page Page 1s QUIZEVENT NAME’
