Hi Joel, Use a container instead of a list
<select> <%con_options%> </select> Then you can have option content class and page instances of those connected to con_options. Then in your option content class, you can have med_document, which can only point to 1 document folder...hmmm...how many document folders are we talking about here? You can either have N option content classes each with different med_document or 1 option content class with N med_document_folder_name Sent from my iPhone On Aug 13, 2013, at 4:09 PM, Joel Kinzel <[email protected]> wrote: > All, > > Here is my situation: > > I have a customer that needs a select box that can have any number of items > in it.
