Captchas: No support for Google reCAPTCHA or similar
Hi all, The current captcha integrated into Creator is very basic, and often near-impossible to read. I'm building an app for a charity which includes a couple of public-facing forms, and this is a real issue for people with dyslexia and related conditions - it's effectively excluding them if you want any form of spam protection at all on your published forms (and that being said, the current captcha doesn't even seem very effective - bots can often read it more easily than humans). I've raised this

How do I list all users and their email addresses within an application?
The application I created is a system where by users submit issues. An admin will then assign the issue to a particular user (not necessarily the one who submitted it). Obviously I need to create the users in the Setting page and allow them access to the parts of the app that are relevant to them. My question is this: Is it possible to create on a form a dropdown box that will show the available users or do I need to create the user a second time within a table (ie. Name, Email, etc...)?
Field Type: Address, Change District/State to Dropdown with picklist??
Using the Address Field type, is there a way to make the District/State field be a dropdown with a picklist so the users can select rather than type the state name every time? I know this can be done if I use a drowdown field for the State (or entire address information), but that isn't as tidy as using the address field type. I apologize if this is a duplicate. I posted this question the other day, or so I though. Can't find that post.
No duplicates in lookup field
