I'm in studio, in the accounts module, and I'm trying to change the dropdown list that is being used for a field when you are in the "Advanced Search".

How do you do that?
Can it be done through the Studio?

Hi Dan,

Do you mean that you want to change the values that appear in the dropdown field? This can be done in Studio by clicking on 'Edit Dropdowns'. Find the name of the dropdown that is associated with the field, and you can modify the dropdown items. This will change both the values that appear in the Search panel, as well as the values of the dropdown field in the Accounts module.

If you want to change the fields that appear in the search panel, then click into the Accounts module within Studio and 'Edit Layout'. Then click on 'Search Form' and you will be able to change the fields that appear in the search panel.

Does this answer your question?

Not really.... I know I can edit the values in given dropdown list, in this case, what I want to do is change which dropdown is being used for a given field on the Advanced Search screen in the Account module

I am also not able to change anything about the "Advanced Search" layout using the layout editor.
