Hi there

Is there a guide / tutorial or any information on creating a database driven dropdown on SuiteCRM?

We are creating a custom module and would want to be able to get values from that module’s table to populate a dropdown in the Accounts module.

Thanks

I had a similar requirement. I achieved this by creating a custom module to hold the “drop down” values and set the module to not be part of the navigation. Once the module was completed I imported the data into the tables that were created. On the module that I needed the “drop down”, I created a related field and related it to the custom module.
