Hi, Subject: Want to add new drop down menu with some list type in the “part form” So I have created one item list Administration>Lists 1. Then I went to part>view>part form 2. after that i have created one new drop down menu and set the item list which i have created in datasource and selected the dropdown menu category for the field type. 3. Then i saved and checked it. its appeared in the part form while creating an item. In that drop down menu the list is appearing. But when i click the dropdown menu it is throwing the error called error: ” [object object] “. somewhere it is not linked properly. 4. and one more doubt. say for example in that drop down menu list contains list of cities. 5. now how can i show the selected city the properly column’s list. 6. So kindly provide the way to configure and link the new drop down menu list properly in that part form.

    Hello, There's just one step that you're missing from this. After creating the list, you need to create a new property on the Part ItemType of type List and the new List as a data source to that property.
    1. Login as admin
    2. Navigate to Administration > ItemTypes
    3. Search for and open the Part ItemType
    4. Lock this ItemType
    5. In the properties tab, add a new property
      1. Name: cities
      2. Label: Cities
      3. Data Type: List
      4. Data Source: *Search for and select the List of cities you created
    6. Save the Part ItemType
    7. Go to the Part Form
    8. Add a field for this new property
      1. In the toolbar of the form editor, you should see a dropdown called "Unused Properties"
      2. Select the new "Cities" property you added in Step 5
      3. This should automatically add a dropdown to the form and link it to this "Cities" property
    9. Save the Form
    10. Open any Part and confirm that the dropdown has been added to the form and that the dropdown is populated with the Cities from your List
