Data Types (type): A UUID is for a single object reference. An array is for multiple object references. A list of UUIDs could be stored in a string/longchar field. Formtool types (fttype): An array is for a library picker to select multiple elements -- works with array only. A UUID is for a single object selection -- works with uuid only. A list is a select menu -- you could select one or a multi select for multiple -- works with string/longchar. Is there any reason you are not using an array (array data type) and simply allowing users to select destinations from a library picker (array fttype)? If you need a custom ui element -- like a bank of checkboxes -- then you'd probably want to build your own formtool component such as ./formtools/checkboxen.cfc and have an array or string/ntext to store the UUIDs you collect. -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "farcry-dev" group.
