Where is or is supposed to be your drop-down list in your app?

I guess you don’t succeed in getting the drop-down lists in the edit screen of your app, right?

If correct, in the edit screen, you currently have text entry component for these elements. You should put choice components, instead of text entries. Each choice component will take its source in the appropriate column of your sheet (lead type, contact type,…) and this choice component will point on the according column for a new contact.

I typed “choice component here !” in the text entry fields that must be replaced by choice components :

Also, in the main page of your app, do not hesitate to add a filter “Company name is not empty” for the inline list, to avoid the display of blank rows.

When you edit your screen, remove the text entry field. Then, click on the + icon at the top right of the right panel (layout tab), select “choice” in the component list, and set it correctly. Then place this choice component at the correct place. That’s it
