You can use a choice-list hook to provide a list of options for
a field.
About this task
You
can provide a constant list of options, use a script to generate a list of
legal values, or set up a dynamic list.
To create a choice list for a field:
Procedure
Open the Fields grid.
Click the Choice List cell of the desired
field.
Click the down arrow and select one of the following:
To write a script for a choice list, select SCRIPTS.
You can define a dependent list whose values change when the user selects
a certain value in another form control. For an example, see Hook for creating a dependent list.
To provide a set of values for a choice list, select CONSTANT
LIST.
To create a choice list whose values can be changed, select DYNAMIC
LIST. Any user with the schema designer, dynamic list administrator,
or super user privilege can change these values. Dynamic-list field hooks
are convenient for lists that you expect to change frequently, because they
allow you to update the list values without changing the schema. See Creating a dynamic choice list.
Select NONE (the default) for Reference and
Reference List field types only. The system presents a choice of all the active
records of the given type as a default choice list for these field types.
