Hello! You could try something like what I am doing:
Controller code: (in the add action)
---------------------------------------------------
//grab list of Projects for dropdown list
$projectNames = $this->ProjectUpdate->Project->find('list', array
('fields' => 'Project.name', 'order' => 'Project.name ASC'));
$this->set('projectNames', $projectNames);
View code:
--------------------------------------------------
echo $form->input('Project.id', array('options' => $projectNames));
Hope this helps!
