Can the employee choose another employee id in the select list? If the
employee is not allowed to choose another employee id, then just show
the existing employee id as a label, not a list.
For preselecting the employees id in the select list, add the
employees id to the controllers data variable, example:
[code]
$this->data['Employee']['id'] = $this->Auth->user('employee_id');
[/code]
Replace the respective parts according to your data structures.
Enjoy,
John
