You might use ars_GetField() to retrieve the internal field structure description, e.g. like this:

my $fieldStruct = ars_GetField( $ctrl, $formName, $fieldId );
my @enumValues = @{$fieldStruct->{limit}{enumLimits}{regularList}};

or for custom selection fields:

my %enumValues = map {$_->{itemName} => $_->{itemNumber}}
   @{$fieldStruct->{limit}{enumLimits}{customList}};

I am trying to write a Perl script w/ ars module that reads some records from a DB and creates new records in a custom form I have. It has a bunch of selection fields, which in the past I would hard code and convert the string values in the DB to the integer value that createEntry wants.

Does anyone have some advice on how I can do this without hardcoding ?

Thanks,
