Configuring an Unbounded Picklist That Adds New Values to Fields

This topic describes how to configure an unbounded picklist so that the user can enter a new value in the field associated with this picklist. It does not describe how to add this value to the values that this picklist displays.

To configure an unbounded picklist that adds new values to fields

1. Use an XML editor to open the form_xx.xml file.

2. Locate the combobox control that the picklist you must modify references.

   For more information, see Combobox Control of the Forms File.

3. Modify the combobox tag so that it allows the user to enter characters in the field associated with the picklist. Use the following code:

   <combobox id="comboxbox_name" tab_order="8" style="editable">
   

   where:

   • comboxbox_name is the name of the combobox that you must modify.

   • editable allows the user to enter values.

   For example, the following code allows the user to enter characters in the predefined sales_method combobox:

   <combobox id="sales_method" tab_order="8" style="editable">
