# Value in Select Fields

 *  Resolved [Candlelite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candlelite/)
 * (@candlelite)
 * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/value-in-select-fields/)
 * Now not able to insert values in Select Fields with upper and lower case text
   and spaces which has been possible in the past. I have checked several websites
   and they are all the same. Currently on Version 1.15.2. Would also be better 
   for the fields to not automatically enter a value – in the past I have found 
   this to be very annoying!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fvalue-in-select-fields%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@candlelite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candlelite/) !
 * I’m very sorry for the inconvenience caused by this!
 * This is correct – the way the feature works has been recently changed, but as
   we’ve heard from the users that this was an important feature, the Forminator
   will be considering to bring it back. I’ve added your ticket to the task so that
   the team is aware of the number of requests for this.
 * For now, an option to workaround this would be to revert back to an earlier version
   of the plugin, which you can find at the bottom of this page: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/forminator/advanced/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/forminator/advanced/)

 * Thank you – it is very arrogant to make a change like this and not consider what
   the end user might want. With CF7 the select field values are blank and you can
   enter what value you want – I suggest you follow their lead.
    What was the last
   version that did not suffer from this restriction of the field value? As my sites
   have auto update turned on I now have extra work installing and testing the older
   version. Regards

 * Hi [@candlelite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candlelite/)
 * I hope you are doing well.

 * You can revert back to 1.15.0.1
 * This feature was implemented as best practice to prevent issues in the multiple
   options fields.
 * Forminator now allows you to use labels or values [https://monosnap.com/file/EXN4mphwxbmP3YfA5t2EUtoG5TE6tt](https://monosnap.com/file/EXN4mphwxbmP3YfA5t2EUtoG5TE6tt)
   to improve the security and compatibility, the value of the field should not 
   use special characters or spaces while the label you can use it.
 * But we already raised this to the plugin team to double check this behaviour.
 * Best Regards

 * Hello [@candlelite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candlelite/) ,
 * We haven’t heard from you for a while now, so it looks like you don’t have more
   questions for us.
 * Please feel free to re-open this ticket if needed.
 * Kind regards,
    Kasia
