What do I make wrong with "selection"

I have a “Selection” on my site to jump to reports of 2025 or to jump to reports of 2026… In the menue stand: “if selectet 2025 jump to site 2” and in 2026 “jump to site 3”… but if selected: it relodes, but jumps to the original site 1… see my copied single (three :wink: ) sites…:

Test Auswahl.sitely (108 KB)

what is my error?

This is an issue I came across some time ago, but I think it’s normal behaviour for a drop down in any development platform. Typically, drop downs are used for returning a value, rather than being used for navigation - it’s quite unusual for a drop down to do both. The fact that Sitely shows navigation options per item may be a little confusing, or even an option that shouldn’t be available on this element. This is perhaps something to be queried with Support. A more reliable, and more common way to handle your use case is to use buttons or text links instead of a drop down form element. If you do want a drop down, it may be best to create a single element menu with the years being sub-menu items. These will appear as a drop down menu to which you can apply navigation links.

Of course, it may have been an intended feature to add to Sitely, but hasn’t quite made it yet. I view the fact that the drop down element is grouped under form elements is an indication that it’s correct use is most likely to be returning a value in a form - to have it suddenly navigate to a new page would be quite confusing for a visitor trying to fill up a form. I could be completely wrong, but I’m sure someone will come along and correct me if I am. My assumption is based purely on my experience rather than the developers intent.

Hi @Birdy, looks like a regression in 6.0.6 sorry. The upcoming 61 fixes it. If you’re in a rush to get the fix please get in touch and we’ll set you up with a pre-release version.

everything fine… i can wait :slight_smile:
