Hi all,

Back again. I’m setting up a post-signup wizard with the Custom Wizard plugin, and dropdown fields that pull their options from existing user fields only ever show the **one** option, not the list of options in the user fields.

**Versions**

- Discourse: Discourse 2026.7.2
- Custom Wizard: 2.15.0

**Set-up (see pics below)**

- One wizard, one step, five Dropdown fields
- Each field’s **Content** is set to: `set` \> **user field options** \> [matching user field]
- Prefill, Condition and Index are empty; Required is off; Validations are off
- An Update Profile action (run after wizard completion) maps each wizard field back to its user field

The five user fields are all standard **Dropdown** user fields with multiple options (between 4 and 19 each), set to Optional, Editable after signup and Show on signup form.

**What happens**  
Every dropdown in the wizard shows only one option from its user field. For example, the gender field has four options (Man / Woman / Non-Binary / Prefer not to say) but the wizard dropdown shows only “Man”. Scrolling, searching (only some have the search option) and using the arrow keys don’t reveal any others.

**What I’ve tried**

- Hard refresh and a different browser
- Removing and re-adding the Content mapping, then saving
- Removing any empty Prefill / Condition / Index rows
- Checking the browser console: **no errors** when opening the dropdowns, but many deprecation warnings from discourse-custom-wizard (e.g. `.hbs` extension deprecated, `htmlSafe` deprecated since Discourse 2026.3.0)

**Also**  
In the Prefill mapper, the only input types offered are “text” and “wizard field” (no “user field”). Is that expected, or is it related?

Has anyone seen this, and has a fix? Or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!
