Alan, There is no "Occupation Description" field where your suggestion could be applied. In Legacy Occupation is an event.
If you are suggesting that the Event Description field have an autocomplete and drop down list option, that would require a database table be linked to that field. Since Occupation is only one of the many event names in the Event Master List I do not think you can link a database table to the description only when the Event name selected is Occupation and not have it linked for all the other Events.
