Local Lists

You can now override the contents of a dropdown list dynamically.

Overview:

Dropdown List widgets now support a specia macro to alter their contents at runtime. This applies to Token fields and Alpha fields with Validation Lists. The values you put into the listbox obviously need to be valid for the field.

This option is specified as an @ macro entered into the Label or Tooltip widget fields.

Usage:

@ Macro Specification:

* Set Local List - @SLL={delim}{value}....{delim}{value}

The {delim} is the first character in the list so that you can set the delimiter to whatever you need. For example, if a comma occurs in your data you will need to use a different delimiter character. For example, '@SLL=,Ms,Mrs,Miss' would limit the choices to Ms, Mrs and Miss.
