Combobox Control of the Forms File

If you set the class attribute of the control tag to combobox, then you must specify the following tags in the control tag:

• source. Describes the list values for this control. The source tag includes the following attributes:

  • type. Contains the ID of a list that the siebel_basic_mapping.xml file describes.

  • field. Contains the name of the field that Siebel CRM Desktop displays as a list value.

  • format. Defines the mask for this field output. Attributes are usually the same for all drop-down lists. It uses the following format:

    field="Value"
    format=":[:(Label):]"
    

    Although Label is a variable, you must specify it as an absolute value, as described here.

• field. A field of an object that stores a value that the user chooses in a list.
