Flask POST sign up form retrieve value of dropdown box

Question

I am using this HTML script for a sign up form in flask and the code will not let me retrieve the data in the same way I retrieve the username and password using request.form['']. I would like to pass the value of the option a user selects from a dropdown to my python program. Is there any way to solve this issue? Thanks in advance for any responses!

<select id="cell" name="carrier" data-name="cellcarrier">
                    <option value="verizon">Verizon</option>
                    <option value="att">At&amp;t</option>
                    <option value="tmobile">T-Mobile</option>
                    <option value="sprint">Sprint</option>
                    <option value="alltel">AllTel</option>
                    <option value="boost">Boost Mobile</option>
                    <option value="cricket">Cricket</option>
                    <option value="metropcs">MetroPCS</option>
                    <option value="uscellular">US Cellular</option>
                    <option value="virginmobile">Virgin Mobile</option>
                    <option value="republicwireless">Republic Wireless</option>
                </select>

Dropdown form boxes aren't special; you should be able to get the value of `carrier` the same way you would get any other form field. Show us the code. — John Gordon, Jan 14 '21 at 01:22
You should be able to get the value just by doing `request.form['carrier']`... https://stackoverflow.com/q/36208283/3990714 — nonamorando, Jan 14 '21 at 01:25
