Prepopulating the drop down.

System

Hi All,

I have in data directory, the press releases DCRs with headline element in it.

In another DCT, I want to add a dropdown which has values prepopulated with the headlines from these DCRs.

So, I want to do something like:

1. Get the directory listing from data directory.
2. Read headlines from these DCRs.
3. Prepopulate the dropdown using these headlines.

Please let me know how this can be achieved.

Thanks,
Ravindra

I am sure you can get better answers here, but I thought of sharing a crude way to resolve this.

STEPS
1. You could use a callout in your datacapture and the script run by the callout should parse through all DCRs and gather a list that you wish.
2. Then the callout should have the code to put together an HTML drop down list with the information you collected.

Hope this helps!
