Hello , I am using a form node to create a form. I want the drop down in my form. But it is not available in form node.Is there any other form node which contains drop down ? If yes, then please let me know.
Thanks
Not that I am aware of. But you can create similar functionality by using regular widgets, including a button called submit, and a join node to join all the inputs together into a single message when submit is pressed.

Thanks for your reply sir. I have tried it but actually i want the output in json format.
This is my flow:

Right now , after deploying this , i get:
Like when I use form node i directly get the output in json format .
What changes need to be done in my code so that i can get the output in json format?
please let me know.
Thanks!
It is the object you are seeing, not JSON
case "go":
// create new object with property-name:value pairs in it separated with comma
msg.payload = {"text_1": data1 ,"text_2":data2};
