Dynamic selectlist with repeating value based on table-column.

In a form, I want the user to be able to choose the number of places. To make it easy from a UX perspective, I want a select list for this. Here, the number of places from one upwards displays. Maximum number of places should be dynamic, based on the column. How do I do this? I suspect I will create some kind of repetition.

I'd have to see the page and understand the database structure to give any advice on exactly how to do it. The Repeat Selection server behavior will allow you to repeat for a set number of rows, which you could then go into the code and update to come from a recordset.

I'd give it a try and post here if you get stuck and include the file you are working on for reference so I can see what you have done and get a better idea of what you want to do.

I succeeded, but I had to hand-code everything. Unfortunately, I do not understand how I could use WA for this. Below is the code for the select list that now works as I wish:

<?php $startnr = 1; ?>
<!-- *** Antal *** -->
<div class="form-group">
<label for="Antal"><i class="fas fa-star-of-life"></i> Antal personer (max <?php echo($WADABokning_update->getColumnVal("PlatserKvar")); ?> st)</label>
<select name="Antal" required="required" class="form-control" id="Antal" onChange="KW_calcForm('Summa',1,0,'#Antal','*','#Prisklass')">
<option value="">Välj antal</option>
<?php while($startnr <= $WADABokning_update->getColumnVal("PlatserKvar")) { ?>
<option value="<?php echo "$startnr"; ?>"><?php echo "$startnr"; ?></option>
<?php
$startnr++;
}
?>
</select>

<div class="invalid-feedback">Vänligen fyll i antal platser</div>
</div>

I don't think there would be a way to do this without hand coding like you have. It just isn't a common enough scenario to have a UI built to account for it.
