I set up Mediawiki with

Page Forms  5.2.1
Semantic MediaWiki  2.5.8

However, when I try to create a combobox property at Special:CreateProperty I cannot find Combobox in the drop down menu. Am I missing something?

Combobox is not a property type (data type), it's an input type of a form field. The correct workflow is the following :

  • Create properties with a specific data type
  • Create a template which defines fields and associate them with properties
  • Create a form from the template which defines how fields are set (input type), such as combobox.

  • HI! I created a text input type, a template and then when creating a form I cannot select Combobox as an option in the Input type Dropdown menu (?) - only textarea (default) and (Hidden) – daumann Aug 23 '22 at 10:16
  • You can change from text to keyword type if you are only storing short text, or you can edit the form manually to force combobox input type – IRA1777 Aug 23 '22 at 12:23
