Change Lead Source from dropdown

[bwetterauer]

I want to give the user the ability to select from the following options for their Lead Source:

I put these option in a drop down on my form
Advertisement
Employee Referral
Other
Partner
Public Relations
Referral
Search Engine
Trade Show
Web
Word of mouth

How do I get what "Lead Source" they select to override the default "Lead Source".

• I see there is an area in the "Form Settings" to put in a Lead Source, but I want it on the form so the user can select the "Lead Source" from the dropdown box

I need to have my a lead source dropdown menu on my form but the form is sending the form name as the Lead Source instead of looking to my dropdown menu of items.

When do you think you'll have time to tweak to the plugin code to check for a lead source in the form and allow it to override the default one?

I'm already using this functionality. Define a custom attribute in Salesforce for Lead Source, and use that as a one of the variables, then assign that as a select widget.

Otherwise, we're getting into some really nasty territory (having to have special exemptions for particular field names to override built in parts of the code), which I'd like to try to avoid, if possible.
