The 'Select List' field seems to be missing from our installation for the Custom Profile Fields options. I am currently unable to locate a field that allows me to choose a simple drop down box. The only option I have is the 'Select' button which lists all the options on the page - see image.

HI, Robert.

Thank you for contacting us.
"Select" is "Select list" you're looking for :)
It displays all the options you provided in "Options" list.
Ho do you expect it will work?

We would prefer this to be in drop down format - not one big list that is open and you can see all the options listed on the page, it takes up way too much space this way - similar to how a country list is normally formatted in any form. Let me know if I am not explaining this clearly. Thank you!

HI, Robert.

Select list is not the same as "dropdown".
Select is a set of html tag while dropdown is a js function. So select list won't behave as dropdown.
Also the look of select list depends of browser or may be additionally styled with css.
Take a look on my test site prntscr.com/hhin7f
This is how a long (72 positions) select list look like in Opera.

So try to view it in other browser or try (just for test) with other Joomla! template e.g Protostar.
Then you'll know what is causing this issue.

Hi Michal,

I have attached 2 images to give you an example of how the Select field is displaying in both Chrome and Firefox browsers. Note: I have not clicked on anything or 'opened' this field. The field is showing exactly 'as is' shown in the image when you navigate to the profile page.

The first attached image is the 'Custom Field settings' and the second image shows you how the field is showing on the front end.

Any suggestion as to why this field is not displaying as expected (as per the link in your response above) would be helpful.

Thank you.
