Populating Lists of Allowed Values

The most typical way of populating lists in forms is through the use of the allowedValues property. From this property, you can specify an optional list of permitted values for <Select> and <MultiSelect> elements. The value of this component is always a list and usually contains strings.

<Field name=’department’>
   <Display class=’Select’ action=’true’>
      <Property name=’title’ value=’Department’/>
      <Property name=’allowedValues’>
         <List>
         <String>Accounting</String>
         <String>Human Resources</String>
         <String>Sales</String>
         <String>Engineering</String>
         </List>
      </Property>
   </Display>
</Field>
