hi

Is it possible to easily add a new field to a drop-down list?

    As a developer, yes.

    As an end-user, no.

    Thanks Martin

    I'm a functional consultant.. how technical is the dev required?

    Could I maybe do it?

    Hi James,

    This can be done by changing the table in the AOT if the lookup is an auto-lookup. In the field group AutoLookup, you can add new fields. If it is based on a form or a run-time based on coding, it is also possible, but different.

    Have a look at the documentation here: msdn.microsoft.com/.../aa597861.aspx

    You shouldn't try to bypass your development team. For example, you may not know how to put your changes to a version control (so they can be released later) and you probably don't have permissions to do it, maybe you don't have access to the right layer and so on.
