Custom Field Not Working For Field Value

Question

Hi all,

I am having trouble with my custom field. I am trying to create an automation from a typeform which will categorise a red, amber, green response.

When going into the automation, it's not showing colour field value suggestions when I click on the traffic light custom field.

Rules > Fields > When custom field "traffic light" is set to FIELD VALUE > Select Red, Amber, Green > I should then have options to select from this however, no items are showing.

Any help would be great.

@Ellie Wilson Depending upon what you need in the end, you may want to give Amazing Fields a try.  (https://trello.com/power-ups/60e068efb294647187bbe4f5/amazing-fields).

It lets you define fields that have colors directly set based upon values or wrap custom fields to make them a bit more Amazing with styling and formulas.

Hi @Ellie Wilson, I just tried creating a similar custom field and I was able to select the different values I had set up (by name/field value though, not by color):

Are you sure it's a drop-down custom field and you added all the values you have in mind?

Here's what I did:

* Go to custom fields
* +New field
* Gave it a name, selected dropdown field
* Added 3 options to match your traffic light field (green=go, yellow-wait, red=stop)
* Clicked create
* Then, went to automation
* Rules > Create automation > Add Trigger > Fields
* Scrolled down to "When custom field (field name) is set to (field value) and I could choose from those three fields.
