Dropdown Question Values/Rowsource

Good Morning, I have a dropdown box which will require 500+ options, way too many to type in the box provided. I was hoping to create a table and add the records there.
Can a question dropdown get values from a table?
Thanks
Selina

Are you talking about a database table? If you don’t mind hard-coding the question id that will be using the table, you could customize the event_form_build function to do that fairly easily.

thank you. Is this the kind of thing I could purchase a support session and have someone do it for me. I personally could build the table and populate it, create the question and provide the id, but wouldn’t have the slightest clue where to start with hard-coding!

Correct me if I’m wrong, Sidney, but would upgrades erase that customization?

So can anyone please advise me on the unanswered questions above:
a. Garths question will upgrades erase customisation
b. Can I get a dropdown created by purchasing a support

Thanks
Selina

IMHO. I think it would be best to put all of the options into a text document. Then copy and paste the data into the field.

To answer your questions:

a. Garths question will upgrades erase customisation
– Probably

b. Can I get a dropdown created by purchasing a support
– I don’t think we have the people available to do this right now.
