Multi column combo box

By Dick Dokter on 14 Jul 2010

At the moment it is only possible to use 1 attribute in 'source attribute' of a combobox.

When I want for instance the sequence + description ( 100 | My description) in the droplist I need to create a structure and use an advanced query to create the source record list.

It would be much easier to change the ' source attribute' property in an expression so it becomes possible to combine fields of the 'source record list' to populate the Droplist.

This would be very helpful, indeed.

I like this idea, also the align would be much better than just attaching all the data to one string

When I drag a foreignkey on an edit screen, the dropdown is automatically created.
However I can select only one attribute for display.

I would like to be able to concatenate more attributes.
Eg. FirstName + LastName

I know I can do this by using an extra query ... but would be nice to do this right away.

I think this the same Idea as Multi column combobox. I would like to have this feature not only in the edit screen but this should be possible with every droplist (combobox).
