font color in dropdown lists

Joseph Schenone

Is there a way to change the font color of items in a dropdown list in a web form? 

 

Example: My guy is filling out his web form and under the field for "Fire extinguisher is on site" he has an option to put either yes or no, can i make "no" red so that when he submits his form it will stand out in the spreadsheet?

I don't think the format of the text in the dropdown list could be changed.

 

To make answers received to stand out in the sheet, use conditional formatting to color the column of this dropdown list:

Please also review the video at the bottom of the page, see if that helps with what you are trying to achieve.  Hope this helps.

The text in the web form cannot be formatted but conditional formatting can be used to change the color of the text and/or background color based on the selection, after the form is submitted. 

 

For example, every form submitted with a NO will color the text in that cell red.
