I have used it specifically with categories. If I want a user to only select from a subset of categories I can set the ftAlias to a specific subset. For example (assuming that my category tree is as below):
- Departments --- HR --- Marketing --- IT - Offices --- Director --- Vice-President If I set the ftAlias to "departments" (assuming that I have set the alias of "Departments" to "department" when I created the category), then I would only get the items "HR", "Marketing" and "IT" in the list. Here is a sample: <cfproperty ftseq="4" ftfieldset="Categorisation" ftwizardStep="General Details" name="catItem" type="longchar" hint="Item categorisation." required="no" default="" ftrenderType="dropdown" ftselectmultiple="false" ftalias="departments" fttype="category" ftlabel="Item Category"/> Hope this helps. Also, this relates Version 4.x - I haven't worked with Farcry 5 Beta yet.
