How to retrieve any module fields in a dropdown in sugarcrm?

I don't have v13 but I would start by looking at the code that generates that dropdown you have as an example.

The field names are in the metadata.

You could leverage the /metadata API with type_filter = "modules" and "module_filter" = the name of the module you are interested in, this will give you all the metadata for that module. From there you can extract the "fields" and from there their names their names.

And possibly do a query based dropdown, there's an example I wrote  some time ago here:

Hello Francesca Shiekh,

Thank you I got that list according to modules and filtered the data.

I want to ask you one question that was regarding this,

I created a blank dropdown using Vardefs when I installed a plugin but when I saved the data according to the modules it saved in db but did not reflect on record view.

for ex:-

db record



Record view 



How do we display the record? 

The field is multi-select.
