Then try this one:

// Fill dropdown list in Form with available Starting Page options. Function is called on Form load. 

var inn = new Innovator();

// Get dropdown element from GUI
var itemTypeDropdownComponent = getFieldComponentByName("Starting_Page");

// Get current start item list values
var listValues = [];
var itemTypeDropdownList = [];
listValues = aras.getListValues("BFDEFE0CEE174B52B8972D49B446B812"); // id of List "StartingPage List"
for (var i = 0; i < listValues.length; i++) { 
    var value = aras.getItemProperty(listValues[i], "value");
	var label = aras.getItemProperty(listValues[i], "label");
	itemTypeDropdownList.push({label: label, value: value});
}
itemTypeDropdownComponent.component.setState({
		list: itemTypeDropdownList,
		value: ''
	});

return null;

Hi Mily, what version of Aras do you use? For SP9 e.g. you can take a look at my starting page project: github.com/.../cui-select-starting-page Code for filling dropdown list: github.com/.../BPL_SelectStartingPage_onLoad.xml In my case I take the dropdown labels from a predefined 'List', but you can also fill the dropdown manually. This project will not work under SP11/SP12, as the new type-ahead function requires a different approach. I already have a SP11 compatible version of this project, but it is not online yet. Angela
