How to save dropdown values into DB

[meronia]

Hi all,
I've modified modules\ModuleBuilder\parsers\parser.dropdown.php for saving dropdown values
into a custom db table 'drop_down_lists'.
If you are interested you can try the code and say if you find some bugs.

Thank you

Thank you, that great idea!!!

In the first days getting acquainted with SugarCRM I was very surprised that the custom values are not stored in the DB.
Very curious, that influenced the decision of developers to store custom data in PHP files
It would be nice to do the same with the saving custom fields.

If you can, please give me some information about the PHP files responsible for this.

Sorry!
I mean the storing into DB primary keys of values from dropdown-s instead of values!

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean.
Would you explain?
