Once the user begins typing a list of possible options will be shown, selecting one will fill in the rest of the field with the selected option, if the desired option is not present in the list then the user can type in their own option. ## Screenshots * [[ * User has typed in ‘dun’ and matches are shown. ## Installation 1. Ensure Contact Form 7 is installed and activated. 2. Install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen or upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/cf7-datalist` directory. 3.

This plugin deserves more reviews and downloads. I love these when I fill out forms. So glad you made this. I was going to jQuery a datalist input into a cf7 input to get this to work, but you are awesome and thank you.
