Hi Burl,
Thanks for reaching out and I’m stoked to hear you’re checking out the plugins!
While we don’t have trial versions of PRO and Community Events prior to purchase, we do offer a full refund on all purchases within 30 days. That should give you a fair amount of time to give everything a test drive — and, if things don’t work out, we’d be happy to process a refund for you.
Regarding the dropdowns, are you referring to the ones in the Community Events submission form? If so, I think that would take a bit of customization. Also, PRO does offer additional fields, of which a dropdown could be used.
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions at all and I’d be happy to help. 🙂
Cheers!
Geoff
