Generates an option list.
This function is used extensively to create option lists on Content Server pages.
This function only produces output when used with a service that calls loadMetaOptionsList
Type and Usage
Parameters
Takes one parameter and one optional argument to the parameter:
The only parameter is a field name, option list key, or a variable.
Field name syntax is <$optList fieldName$>
. For custom metadata fields, the field name will resolve to <$optList xFieldName.options$>
, or you can specify the .options
suffix directly.
Option list key syntax is <$optList ListName$>
.
For standard metadata fields, the ListName is the name of the internal option list (such as docAuthors). See Internal Option Lists.
For custom metadata fields, the ListName is the name of the option list key, such as FieldNameList.
Variable syntax is <$optList variable$>
. The variable must resolve to a field name or an option list key.
One of the following optional arguments can be added to the parameter:
:noselected-No values are selected when the option list is displayed.
:fieldValue-The value specified by the fieldValue variable is selected as the default value in the option list.
Output
Returns a list of values.
Example
This script generates a list of possible authors from the internal docAuthors list:
<$optList docAuthors$>
This script generates a list of the options specified in the xRegion custom metadata field:
<$optList xRegion.options$>
This script generates an option list from the variable optionListName and specifies the default value:
<$if optionsAllowPreselect and fieldValue$> <$defaultOptionListScript = "<$optList " & optionListName & ":fieldValue$>"$> <$else$> <$defaultOptionListScript = "<$optList " & optionListName & ":noselected$>"$> <$endif$>
