I am currently unable to add a choice element for metertypeID to the form container in my Glide app. I’ve attached a screenshot for reference. Can anyone help me with this?

On a related note, I encountered this same issue a few months ago and was given a workaround at the time. However, I need this feature again and can’t recall the details of the workaround. It would be great if Glide could consider addressing this directly to make the process smoother for users in the future.

Thank you for your help.

I would probably have the same questions as before, so I don’t have anything to add. Definitely seems odd. Just wanted to include your previous thread here for reference and clarification if anybody else has ideas.

I’m not trying to say anything. I found your old thread and shared it here if others want to read it to better understand your problem. I don’t personally have a solution for you at this time.
