    List<Position__c> position=[select name,id from Position__c];
            
                for(Position__c pos:position)
                {
                   optns.add(new Selectoption(pos.name,pos.name));
                }   
    System.debug(position);
    return optns;
    
    }

The answer is in the error.

 

Invalid selectOptions found. Use SelectOption type in Apex.

 

In the class you have SelectOption . In VFP, SelectOptions

 

public List<SelectOption> getPositionList()
    {
    List<Selectoption> optns=new List<Selectoption>();      

 

 

 

my page is

 

 

 

<apex:page controller="SendEmailToCandidates">
<apex:form >
<apex:selectList value="{!positionSelected}" >
<apex:selectOptions value="{!positionList}" >
</apex:selectOptions>
</apex:selectList>
</apex:form>

 

<apex:page>

Try this -

 

public class SendEmailToCandidates {
    
    public String positionSelected{get; set;}
    
    
    //get Positions
    public List<SelectOption> getpositionList()
    {
    List<Selectoption> optns=new List<Selectoption>(); 
   
    List<Position__c> position=[select name,id from Position__c];
            
                for(Position__c pos:position)
                {
                   optns.add(new Selectoption(pos.name,pos.name));
                }   
    System.debug(position);
    return optns;
    
    }

  //constructor
    public SendEmailToCandidates()
    {
    List<Job_Application__c> applicantsList=new List<Job_Application__c>();
    Position__c positionList=new Position__c();
    }

}



//page

<apex:page controller="SendEmailToCandidates">
<apex:form >
    <apex:selectList value="{!positionSelected}" >
        <apex:selectOptions value="{!positionList}" >
        </apex:selectOptions>
    </apex:selectList>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

Positions in drop down list -

What is this line?      positionList=new Position__c();

 

 

Possibly rewrite your controller as:

 

public class SendEmailToCandidates {
    public String positionSelected{get; set;}
    public List<SelectOption> getPositionList()
    {

        List<SelectOption> optns = new List<SelectOption>();

        for (Position__c pos : [select name, id from Position__c]) optns.add(new SelectOption(pos.name,pos.name));
        return optns;
    }

}

 

 

Best, Steve.
