Copy $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/selectmany.ftl into $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-extension/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/selectmanywithcode.ftl and then modify as you see fit. You'll have to use share-config-custom.xml to tell Alfresco to use your custom control for the specific fields that make sense.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>What you may find is that the options you want to add using code need to get some data from the repository that hasn't been handed to the control in a variable. When that happens you can drop a little client-side JavaScript into your template and make AJAX calls to the repository tier web scripts via the Share proxy. There are out-of-the-box Alfresco utilities on the client-side that wrap YUI to make this easy once you know how they work.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Sorry I don't have time to provide further detail, but maybe that gives you some ideas.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Jeff</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 02 Jun 2012 00:15:01 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/add-data-to-option-of-selectmany-ftl/m-p/266636#M219766 jpotts 2012-06-02T00:15:01Z
