Dropdown Help Please

Hello, I wanted to ask how I could make it so that when selecting an option from the dropdown, all the information related to the selection appears.

It depends on what you want (only show information, copy information...)

You can use a dbjoin with "or concat label"
You can use a dbjoin with Advanced/Description field

Database join element

The database join element is an extremely powerful element. It allows you to look up data in another database table and to pre-populate a radio list or drop down list with the data returned from the look up. For example, you could easily make a drop-down list containing all of your Joomla...

Probably you just need to set a filter (person) to your list and set in the filter option 'Requiring filtering` to yes. The result will be the list with only displaying this person.

Step by step:

1. In your element person-name set under 'list view settings -> filters' filter-type =dropdown

2. Afterwards set all elements you want to show to 'show in list = yes'

3. Go in your list settings and select under 'details->filters' the option 'Requiring filtering' to yes.

4. I would propose you change under 'details -> layout' the frontend template to 'div' (or maybe you create a custom template)
