I am confused and frustrated - not an unusual state I admit. However my problem is that despite reworking my code for the last week and finding many silly errors (like trying to use OptionService instead of OptionsService) I still can get this dam select box to populate with a list of users.

I have been able to get it to work using the optionsConfig fixed from the documentation example.

Following Dave Drapers video I can see the users from the service but get an empty select box Smiley Sad

I am now at the point were I dont know what to do next, probably a stupid error (slight dyslexia so used to that) but if anyone can spot it there a virtual brew in it for you.

The form is in a dashlet as follows:

model.jsonModel = {
    rootNodeId: args.htmlid,
    pubSubScope: instance.object.id,
    bodyHeight: "400px",
    services: [

You say you want to fill a select box with options, yet in the JSON model you have used a "alfresco/forms/controls/Radio" widget. If you want a selection box you need either "alfresco/forms/controls/Select", "alfresco/forms/controls/FilteringSelect" or "alfresco/forms/controls/ComboBox" (depending on additional requirements - the Select widget would be the most basic one).

I have been trying many options. According to a video I watched should be no difference between select and radio in the way they are populated, both should work from OptionsService.

I was primarily pointing out the discrepancy between your text and the JSON model. Can you please link which specific video you are talking about?

In current Aikau I cannot find a widget called alfresco/forms/controls/Radio.There is a alfresco/forms/controls/RadioButtons one and that only supports the static "options" attribute.
