Create Dropdown lists

Original Post by raoul (Imported from Ardevia Forum)

I have a list that is created through an external content type which goes into my SQL Database. For some fields I would like to restrict my user in his entries by overlaying a normal Text in the List field with a drop down.

Lets say I have a list that contains following data

Name Text field
Gender Text Field

The form should allow entry of the name normally but the Gender Field should only be filled with a selection out of a dropdown that I create in the form.

Can this be achieved?
Thanks for your help

Hello,

if you cant just change the list column type to a choice type than you can create a new column. GenderNew, set it to be choice type.

In the form show your new "Gender" field which is a DropDown field.

The old "Gender" field should be hidden (type =False in the Behavior-Visible Expression) and set the Calculated Expression to [[GenderNew]] field.

Hope it helps.
