Glad to hear it worked! You never have to justify if it needs a bit more time to answer. Especially when you have good reasons :D. Happy "Dia de Andalucia" from the "Free State of Bavaria" !

There is another source of code you may haven´t found yet: Github! --> https://github.com/ArasLabs

In your case you probably often have to look at previous releases of the projects, cause you´re still using I11.
But lot´s of the projects are based on I11.

I actually used a dropdown in one own projects -> https://github.com/AngelaIp/cui-select-starting-page .
Sometimes just adding "github" to an aras specific question in google helps.

But when you have a subscription, you can always ask Aras support for these kind of stuff!

Thank you very much Angela. It works perfectly. "Eres un Sol" (Spanish expression, hehe)!!!

I did not answer you before because in Andalusia, Spain, we have had 2 days of vacation, "Dia de Andalucia".

The code works perfectly, I only have to change where I would collect the data, since I take it from a table and not from a LIST of ARAS, but I already know how to do it. I did it, it works perfectly.

It gives me courage, because I have looked everywhere, google, forum, PDF and I did not find anywhere information on how to do it in the version that I have. All the examples that I saw and tried gave me an error and were examples that the forum partners marked as valid.

What's more, I have tried to search for the code that you have put in the PDFs and still nothing appears. I don't know.

Thank you so much. Eternally grateful!!!

Well, the way to work with dropdowns changed around 3 times over the years. There is a difference between 11SP9, 11SP11 and 11SP15 :).

General tip: Always add a comment sections on the top of your code that indicates which version it was build for and add some descriptions.

This way I found this Innovator 11SP9 code that filled a dropdown in Form based on a List item:

var inn = new Innovator();

// Get dropdown element from Form
var div_startpage = getFieldByName("mydropdown").id;
var control_items = div_startpage.substring(0, div_startpage.indexOf("span"));
var select = document.getElementById(control_items);

// Get list values
var listValues = [];
listValues = aras.getListValues("BFDEFE0CEE174B...."); // id of List "xy"
for (var i = 0; i < listValues.length; i++) {
var value = aras.getItemProperty(listValues[i], "value");
var label = aras.getItemProperty(listValues[i], "label");
var option = document.createElement('option');

select.options[i] = new Option(label, value); // fill dropdown list
}

No Idea if it works :D
