New Form with DropDown

[Uwe Gabbert]

Hallo,

I want create a new form for my tasks with a dropdown field.
I can use this field, can add new entrys and so on.
But only for one task. If I add a new task, the field are empty. :-(
What can I do?

Thanks Uwe

If values you want to be displayed in the drop down list are always the
same, you can enter these values in the designer.

You can also enable user to add its own value ( Check "User defined
options" in the drop down list options in the designer) but by default
this specific value will only be available in the current form.

If you would like to allow users to populate drop down list values and
reuse all entered values on each new form, you will have to create a
lookup to automatically fill in the drop down list options with values
used in existing forms

For example :
- Create a new (hidden) view that contains your drop down list
- Configure your drop down list column in the view to be sorted
- Then, open your main form, edit drop down list options and configue a
lookup that targets the view you just created. Select to get Unique
values, without cache...
