Configuring VA Custom Field Combo Boxes

VA Custom Field Combo Boxes define the selectable lists used by custom fields.

Before you start

• Your user has Menu Administrator and Form Administrator.
• Create the combo box before adding the custom field that uses it.

Steps

1. Open VA Custom Field Combo Boxes.
2. Create the combo box.
3. On the Items tab, enter database values and display values.
4. Keep database values distinct, proper case, and free of spaces/special characters (display values may use them).
5. Save, then add or re-add the custom field with the combo box reference in the Custom Fields Wizard.

Notes

• Changing a database value does not update existing records—you must update data separately.
• If a field already exists without the combo box, delete and re-add the field with the combo box reference.
