You can use a choice-list hook to provide a list of options for
a field.
About this task
You can provide a constant
list of options, use a script to generate a list of legal values, or set up
a dynamic list.
To create a choice list for a field:
Start the Designer.
In the ClearQuest Schema Repository Explorer view,
expand the Record Types folder in your schema and then
expand a record type.
Click on the Fields node to open the Record
Fields grid.
Click the Choice List cell of the field
you want to update.
Click the down arrow and select one of the following:
To write a script for a choice list, select SCRIPTS.
You can define a dependent list whose values change when the user selects
a certain value in another form control. For an example, see Hook for creating a dependent list.
To provide a set of values for a choice list, select CONSTANT
LIST.
To create a choice list whose values can be changed, select DYNAMIC
LIST. Any user with the schema designer, dynamic list administrator,
or super user privilege can change these values. Dynamic-list field hooks
are convenient for lists that you expect to change frequently, because they
allow you to update the list values without changing the schema. See Creating a dynamic choice list.
Select NONE (the default) for Reference and
Reference List field types only. The system presents a choice of all the active
records of the given type as a default choice list for these field types.
