Hi Gerry, yes that works for me too. It's a little confusing to be able to type in whatever you like though. I suspect it would be a pain to stop people typing invalid values. If so, feel free to close the ticket. If not, it would be good to stop random values being entered. Assuming the ticket is about to close! I guess this issue could be a FAQ if it is not already. Thanks.

I don't believe you can save random values ...

Bryan, you are correct. You can not save random values. However you can type them in, think that you've written something sensible then press save. Once you do this the value then disappears. People may incorrectly think that there is a bug in the questionnaire at this point (as I did).

Rupert, I agree that it can be confusing especially in the component inputs page. I have therefore added a piece of text to each of the CF input sections to indicate the need to type the first few letters to expose the drop down box. This should hopefully clear up any confusion.
Rupert, you need to enter at least the first 3 letters to activate the dropdown list of CF values. I am finding this works okay, including saving. If you are finding otherwise let me know as I have recently made changes to the CF code and may possibly have introduced a bug.
