    Umbraco Forms - Custom Fields

    Hi guys,

    I'm trying to build a custom DropDownList with custom values using a third party service.

    I'm stuck with two options.

    #1 - New FieldType

    public class CustomField: Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldType
{
    public CustomField()
    {
        this.DataType = FieldDataType.[String|LongString|Integer|DateTime|Bit];
    }
}

    Issues

    • How can I specify that my CustomField will be a DropDownList?

    #2 - New FieldPreValueSourceType

    public override List<PreValue> GetPreValues(Field field, Form form)
{
    List<PreValue> result = new List<PreValue>();
    ...
    return result;
}

    Issues

    • How can I set the default value? Not static, but dynamic.

    Any tip on this?

    Cheers,

    /Pedro

    I figured out that adding this line

    this.SupportsPrevalues = true;

    into a FieldType constructor enables a DropDownList.

    Now I can set the selected value inside the view.
