Output

Returns the option list name.

Example

Sets the option list name to docAuthors if the field is not restricted to a single user:

<$if SingleUser$>
    <$isInfoOnly = 1$>
  <$else$>
    <$fieldIsOptionList = 1, optionListName = "docAuthors"$>
    <$if HasExternalUsers$><$fieldOptionListType= "combo"$>
    <$endif$>
<$endif$>

Defines the default option list script:

<$if optionsAllowPreselect and fieldValue$>
    <$defaultOptionListScript = "<$optList " & optionListName & ":fieldValue$>"$>
<$else$>
    <$defaultOptionListScript = "<$optList " & optionListName & ":noselected$>"$>
<$endif$>
