Hello,
I need to have a drop down field with a list of countries (about 200) - single select. Is there a way to make this drop down without manually creating the 200 values with labels (which would basically involve about 400 entries!).
Any hints please?
CB Query Field can be used to generate a select field using a custom database table. That custom database table could be a list of countries. Alternatively CB Code Field can be used to generate a select field using custom PHP code. That code could make an HTTP request to an external service to build a list of options from. Those would be your only solutions beyond as you've found building the list manually using a standard select field.
