Thanks. Now it makes sense.
What possible harm could there be in the ability to add a drop down menu in the
GUI on a join form derived from the CMDB forms? OK ... I can see locking out
things that'd write back to the database like the input length or FTS mode,
indexes, permissions, etc.
But why specifically lock it out menus like this?

thanks everyone though,
