    Hi There,

    I am looking for help with my form formatting, specifically the mobile number.


    We have clients inputting numbers from different countries all over the world but when it comes through on the spreadsheet they are all different obviously.


    How can I add a dropdown for cell numbers so they can choose their country code and then we can have the same cell format on the spreadsheet.

    Hi Lauren,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Sure, you can add a dropdown list with the country names along their dialing code, but you'll need to add the International Telephone Picker widget. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.
    2. Under the Widgets tab, enter International Telephone Picker in the search bar, and drag and drop the widget to your form.

    We recommend you to don't delete the existing number field, as you already have some submissions and by deleting the field, you'll lose all the data related to specific field. Instead, you can just hide the field on the form. This guide will show you how to do that. We also have a guide about International Telephone Picker that you can check out.

    Give it a try and reach out again if you have any other questions.

    Thank you so much! This is so helpful!

    Also thank you very much for telling me about the hiding of the previous mobile in order to not lose the existing numbers.

    Really helpful and really quick. Thank you!
