I am trying to find a way to make my life easier with macro and forms. I would like a collection of forms, but with different variables. Fx:
1 form had: fname, lname, phonenumber
2 form had: fname, emailadress, phonenumber
3 form had: emailadress, company
etc.
To illustrate what I mean:
Under Document Types I made a generic property with a Macro Formular.
In the content area I have my site, and under my site the tab "properties" I have the Formular macro:
Does anybody know if it is possible to make a dropdown menu in the "Formular macro", so I could easily choose between the forms I have?
Thank you a lot for your answer. One thing there is not so cool, is that my Umbraco is totally empty after the installation of "Formulate". Everything is gone, seems like a new installation?
Not sure I follow you. Are you saying you just installed Formulate and that installing it caused the back office to be a blank white page? Some questions:
Are you intending to use Formulate to create your forms?
Are there JavaScript errors in the browser developer console?
Are there errors in your Umbraco log file?
Which version of Umbraco are you using?
What happens if you delete the ClientDependency and PluginCache folders from your App_Data/TEMP folder and you recycle your application pool?
Dropdown Macro forms
Hello everybody.

Best regards.
Are you using a plugin for your forms (e.g., Umbraco Forms, Contour, Formulate, Form Editor)?
If you are using Formulate, there is a form picker: http://www.formulate.rocks/simple-form
Contour has a similar form picker:
I believe Umbraco Forms has a form picker too.
From what I've seen, Form Editor seems to define the forms inline on pages, so no picker is necessary.
If you are not using one of the common form plugins, Umbraco does have a built-in property editor to create drop downs, so you could use that.
