How to change the type of a field?

[ywingate]

Sugar 5.0 on Linux.
Dropdown lists in Basic Search and Advanced Search are displayed as multiple selection.
How can I change a field to be single selection (i.e. multiple=false) and size=1?

Thanks for any help!!

Hi,
what do you mean by "size=1"?

[SugarDev.net]

size=1 is HTML language.

[DragonflyMaster]

size=1 is HTML language.

I wonder what this has to do with converting a multiselect to a text field.

Hey...I have the same problem. When I put a dropdown to a basic search layout it is displayed as Multiple Select.

I want to be a dropdown.

Is it a way to do that??

I found it out...

Hi ywingate

You can copy the include/SugarFields/FIelds/Enum to the include/SugarFields/FIelds/SingleEnum.

Modify the Field class to reflect its own name and no more the Enum class, and modify the path for their templates.

In the SearchForm.tpl remove the multiple attribute.

In the searchfieldsdefs.php set the 'type' => 'SingleEnum'

Cheers
