Create your dropdown list in Dropdown Editor

Create a file Custom/Extension/modules/accounts/Ext/custom.php

$dictionary["Account"]["fields"]["name"][ "type"] = 'enum';
$dictionary["Account"]["fields"]["name"][ "options"] = "THEDROPDOWNNAME";

Then do a repair

Sorry I put accounts not opportunities and wrong path

Create a file Custom/Extension/modules/Opportunities/Ext/Vardefs/custom.php

$dictionary['Opportunity']["fields"]["name"]["type"] = 'enum';
$dictionary['Opportunity']["fields"]["name"]["options"] = "THEDROPDOWNNAME";

Yes, I did that, but still it was not working.

I created a DropDown list named OPP_NAME.

Then I Created a file Custom/Extension/modules/Opportunities/Ext/Vardefs/custom.php


In which I pasted the following thing.

$dictionary['Opportunity']["fields"]["name"]["type"] = 'enum'; $dictionary['Opportunity']["fields"]["name"]["options"] = "OPP_NAME";


And then I repaired by clicking on "Quick Repair and Rebuild" by following the path (Admin-> Repair-> Quick Repair and Rebuild)

Still I was not able to see the change.

Am I doing it correct?

Well it sounds good to me

What version of Sugar are you using

[malika_gupta]

It is SugarCRM
Version 6.1.2 (Build 5555)

[mikesolomon]

OK u are right

I tested it in 5.51 and works fine

I then tested in 6.1 and it doesn't

Sugar must have changed how it works
