Hi Cimballi,
Since <drop-down> is expecting an entity-name and you have specified a
view-entity, can you be a little more specific? Instead of
<drop-down>
<entity-options description="${description}" entity-name="ContentType"
I think I must need a different syntax for the view-entity. I noticed
if I put a view-entity into the entity-name field it doesn't work.
So how do I use the view-entity with the drop-down?
Thanks Patrick
