Hi Jim,

When adding a drop down field to a table you are only able to select unique fields as the drop down value. RecordID is always a unique value and therefore always shows up as an option. You could do one of 2 things, make the field you are trying to use unique by editing the table and checking the Unique box or the other option is to use the RecordID as the drop down and then link the actual field you want to use, you can read more about that HERE.

Problem adding drop down in new table -

jim@jbtss.com — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 14:25:50 GMT

I created a new table, added a new drop down field and chose to pull data from an existing table that I have already used in other screens. When I select the table I want, all I see is Record ID, I dont see any of the other fields no matter which existing table I choose.

If I edit a screen and add a dropdown object and add it that way then it works and I can see all the fields within the table.

Any idea why I can't add it the proper way? I need to get this field in an existing table.
