Yes, I have a look this morning and I can't see a way to do it with entity-options. A good way to find a solution in such cases is
to look for (for instance) entity-options in *.xsd files. You would find some documentation and maybe some ideas. Sometimes xml
completion tools (editors) are not enough to tell you all the story

Try using a bsh script to do a distinct query and then use list-options in
your form instead of entity-options

Can someone, please help me with this?
Looking through the ofbiz code I always find the entity-options in
drop-down
tag used with unique entity key fields.
What I am trying to do is to populate the drop-down with a non unique
entity
key field (and having it displayed only once).
Is it a wrong use of drop-down/entity-options ?
Has someone done this I am trying to do?
Is there an alternative method?
Many thanks,
-Bruno
