All,

Is there any such thing as a pick list / list of values within Active
Scaffold?

I am using AS to provide an admin app for a big database and I want to
provide a list of values for associations.

For Example,

Imagine I am creating a new account object and I need to associate it
with a person. If I have 100,000+ people then I don't want to use a
drop down list so I need a button next to the appropriate text field
which then pops up a list of person records so that I can search/page/
sort and finally pick one which would then populate the association on
the account page.

I have created text field/button combination which uses redbox to open
a thickbox style popup for my associations but I am unsure how to best
proceed from there. I was hoping to reuse the AS search/paging
functionality (ie the usual AS list screen), but I don't want any of
the action links (create, edit, delete) etc and I need the rows to be
selectable so that when I click on a row the popup closes and the
calling page gets the relevant data.

Has anyone done such a thing or has any suggestions as to how I can do
this type of thing within the AS framework? I'd like to make it as
generic as possible so I can add it back to AS if anyone else would
find it useful.

Thanks
