Hi:

I added a couple of custom fields (a textbox and a combobox) to the Purchase Requisitions Entry screen in GP 2015. After running the dag.exe utilitity, generating the Application.Dynamics.ModifiedForms.dll and its xml file sucessfully, and importing it in my project, I am able to see the textbox in Intellisense, and use it, but I cannot see the combobox. I tried adding a dropdown list, but it doesn't work either.

Am I doing something wrong, or VST just doesn't support comboboxes and dropdown lists?

You will find it difficult to work with drop down and lists from .NET addin, pass through script using the continuum library is one hope, but that is not a good solution. You might like to read these posts that go into more depth:
