  • 5 selection fields, only one stored item list

    I have a form with 5 selection fields. Each of these 5 selection fields has the same item list stored. Is it possible to create only one selection list for these 5 selection fields where all 5 fields can access it? So I don't want to have to maintain the same selection list 5 times, but that I have 5 fields that all access the same selection list. How do I solve the problem? 5 selection fields, only one stored item list

        Sorry, that extension was retired because we were made aware of a potential security issue.

          Yes thanks for your concern, a forum participant discovered that it would be possible for a malicious actor to inject some SQL and alerted me before any incidents.

        Doesn't an extension of Espo CRM also offer this possibility? I am always skeptical of third-party extensions. You never know whether they will survive the next Espo CRM update.

          Then your only other option would be hire an in house developer or learn to code yourself.

          Don't be too reliant on the Feature Request, as it is difficult to get it fulfill due to time restraint and disagreement.

          So at the end of the day, you have to rely on 3rd party developer, especially one that have a vested interested in it (1) they use the system themself and (2) it their business model

          Alternatively just have to live with it and learn through forum and other resources.

            Not sure about the terms for eblasoft eymen-elkum or other third party extensions but official Espo extensions grant you a one year license where they guarantee compatibility with the newest Espo versions but after a year you must renew (and pay) to maintain such guarantee.

            That is common practice with all commercial software, somebody has to pay to maintain it.
