In this topic you add fields to the form to support a static picklist.

To modify the form to support a static picklist

Use an XML editor to open the forms_xx.xml file.
For more information about the forms_xx.xml file, see Files in the Customization Package.
Locate the Opportunity form. Locate the following code:
```
<form id="SBL Opportunity">
```
Add the following code to the Opportunity form:
```
<combobox id="Id_name">
  <field>field_name</field>
  <source type="lov_type_Id" field="source_field_name"
    format=":[:(Label):]"></source>
</combobox>
```
where:
- Id_name is any text that identifies the purpose of the dropdown list.
- field_name identifies the field you specify in the basic mapping in step 3.
- lov_type_Id identifies the object that stores the list of values in the basic mapping that you specify in step 4.
- source_field_name identifies the field from the Picklist object that Siebel CRM Desktop displays in the client.
For example, you add the following code:
```
<combobox id="jvd_simple">
  <field>JVD Simple</field>
  <source type="OpportunityJVD SimplePicklist" field="Value" 
    format=":[:(Label):]"></source>
</combobox>
```
