I would like to add a counties List to a combo Box, is there a better way rather than having to type each one in Separately?

Hi Alan,
I am not aware of a method other than typing each entry for a combo box. Perhaps Incomedia can help in this case.
But before you do please have a look at this video on youtube https://youtu.be/teJWPrrKSZ4. The interesing part for you starts at app. 1 minute into the video . I don't know if this is applicable for your website, but I'm sure it will put a smile on your face...
Have fun!

Well this may well be true and perhaps better left for user inputs even if there are errors.
Thank you Robert.
Hi Alan.
As of now, I'd say no. It is the required way to properly fill a combo box.
If you feel like reporting your idea for a different method of insertion, I would like to invite you to open an Idea topic explaining this in details.
This way, it will be easier for the Staff to keep track of it when discussing future implementations and thus might be kept into consideration.
I thank you for proposing this

Hi Stefano,
I'm a user of the Filemaker Pro program. In this program I can define selection lists by just entering each value on a seperate line. You can copy/paste the content from any other source. You can also enter a single hyphen as a separator between logical value sets. The result can be used in a combo box
This is an easy way to maintain the content of a combo box. Of course Filemaker is a completely different program, but perhaps this is an alternative which can find its way in WebsiteX5?
Kind regards,
Robert
