How to import a large dropdown?

James Kinnersley

Hi.  I've followed the instructions on this post  How to import dropdown values but the dropdown list isn't being updated. I have posted on that thread asking for help but I assume that as it's marked as 'answered' that it's being overlooked.

Not sure where I'm going wrong, if anyone could help I'd really appreciate it.

Manifest:

<?php

$manifest = array (
'built_in_version' => '13.0',

'acceptable_sugar_versions' => array(
'regex_matches' => array(
'7\\.9\\..+$',
'7\\.10\\..+$',
'7\\.11\\..+$',
'8\\.[0-9]\\..+$',
'9\\.[0-9]\\..+$',
'10\\.[0-9]\\..+$',
'11\\.[0-9]\\..+$',
'12\\.[0-9]\\..+$',
'13\\.[0-9]\\..+$',
),
),

'acceptable_sugar_flavors' => array (
0 => 'ENT',
1 => 'ULT',
2 => 'PRO',
),

'readme' => '',
'key' => '',
'author' => 'jk',
'description' => 'test dropdown import',
'icon' => '',
'is_uninstallable' => true,
'name' => 'test_dropdown_import',
'published_date' => '2023-08-16 16:00:01',
'type' => 'module',
'version' => 1.9,
'remove_tables' => 'prompt',
);

$installdefs = array (
'id' => 'test_dropdown_import',
'language' =>
array (
0 =>
array (
'from' => '<basepath>/custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/en_UK.testEP_templates_detail_list.php',
'to_module' => 'application',
'language' => 'en_UK',
),
),
);


en_UK.testEP_templates_detail_list.php contains

<?php

$app_list_strings['testEP_templates_detail_list']'P00'=>'Link records';
$app_list_strings['testEP_templates_detail_list']'P01'=>'Verbal advice given';
$app_list_strings['testEP_templates_detail_list']'P02'=>'Memo';
$app_list_strings['testEP_templates_detail_list']'P04'=>'Abatement Notice S80';
$app_list_strings['testEP_templates_detail_list']'P05'=>'Enforcement Notice Section 34';
$app_list_strings['testEP_templates_detail_list']'P06'=>'Notice Letter';

Thanks in advance.

    Hi James,

    for your en_UK.testEP_templates_detail_list.php file. The part that doesn't look good is the 'P00' portion. I believe referencing the url you provided you were copying similar to what they had which was [0][1] etc.. Those numbers represents the placement within the array.

    For your file can you try,

    $app_list_strings['testEP_templates_detail_list']=array (
    'P00'=>'Link records',
    'P01'=>'Verbal advice given',
    'P02'=>'Memo',
    'P04'=>'Abatement Notice S80',
    'P05'=>'Enforcement Notice Section 34',
    'P06'=>'Notice Letter',
    );

    Hi Kortnee.  Thanks very much for replying, I loaded the new package (and got the success message) but I'm afraid the dropdown is still empty.

    Ok, can you confirm if you go to the Dropdown Manager that your dropdown exists? Look for testEP_templates_detail_list and open the dropdown. Once you've open the dropdown, just click save, i've had to do that sometimes and works after that.

    Navigating to Dropdown Editor

    1. Log In: Log in to your SugarCRM instance as an administrator.

    2. Admin Panel: Navigate to the Admin panel by clicking on the "Admin" link usually located in the top-right corner of your dashboard.

    3. Developer Tools: Under the 'Developer Tools' section, look for an option labeled "Dropdown Editor" and click on it.
