Dropdown in Form 30 Oct 2012 07:56 #4848

jcbenton Offline Premium Member Posts: 125 Thank you received: 9 Karma: 3	Is it possible to add a dropdown to the form in Cook? for example, I have an Integer field. Instead of a text box I want to add a dropdown with integers assigned as the values. Example: <select> <option value="1">Option 1</option> <option value="2">Option 2</option> </select> Instead of this: <input type="text" name="Option"> See the Server field in the screenshot.

1 - you could either use an FK field to grab values into a combobox (dropdown) by

OR

2 - you could use an enum type field

That should do the trick for you. Gez
