Add, Delete, Modify, elements in dropdown

[Heilong]

Hi everyone,

I usually use the Studio to edit and customize dropdowns I provide to users.

Now, I need to set up, a dropdown on the SearchForm, this dropdown will be user specific, that's mean each user will have his own dropdown, with his own customization.

So for that, when the specific user will use this dropdown, he must be able to add, delete, or modify elements in this dropdown, using buttons, and fields, I'll provide to him.

Anyone did that before ? or any ideas that could help me.

Thanks,

version 4.5.1e

i'm assuming you do not want to give admin rights to each user, so creating separate custom drop downs, prefixed with their user name and adding logic to display only the user's drop down is out of the question.

because you want to enable each user to be able to add/modify their drop down list, one option is to create a new module, where all the module has is three fields (name, assigned to, and team). the name is key and value for the drop down.

in the search from, you create custom code to display the records (in this custom module) as drop down values. only the records assigned to the current user will be displayed.

having it as a custom module allows any user (with rights) to add/edit drop down values.
