Default value in dynamically generated select field?
-
I have a CF7 form with a select field for the recipient. With “default: get” i can select a line in the dropdown from a parameter in the calling URL.
So far so good.
But now I would like to generate the drop-down list dynamically (via the ‘wpcf7_form_tag’ hook in functions.php). This also works. But no longer the default choice from the calling URL.
What can I do?
(And by the way: If the select field is a recipient field, at design time it must contain an valid address, else a “illegal syntax” message is trown.)
[select* empfaenger include_blank default:get
“xyz|[email protected]”]

I was able to identify the problem.
In select.php, the the URL parameter (symbolic e-mail name) is compared with the e-mail addresses (array $values), not with the e-mail labels (array $labels):Instead of:
` foreach ($values as $key => $value) {
if ( $hangover ) {
$selected = in_array( $value, (array) $hangover, true );
} else {
$selected = in_array( $value, (array) $default_choice, true );
}
$item_atts = array(
‘value’ => $value,
‘selected’ => $selected ? ‘selected’ : ”,
);
I changed it to:
foreach ($labels as $key => $value) {Now it works as expected.
