Hi Matt, If you just want to have a dropdown of values available, then you might find it easier to just configure a dropdown (and its possible values) via the [dspace]/config/input-forms.xml' configuration file.
Documentation is available at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Submission+User+Interface#SubmissionUserInterface-TheStructureofinputforms.xml As an example, you can look at how the "dc.type" field is configured as a "dropdown" in the 'input-forms.xml' file by default. It's set of possible values is defined in that same config file, under the "<form-value-pairs>" section (look for the <value-pairs> with the name "common_types"). I hope that helps! - Tim On 1/27/2012 7:14 AM, Henry, Matt - OPS District Computer Technician wrote: > Hello, > I work for a city school district.
