ECM - How can I edit a custom list used for a drop down

ECM

Another ECM question. I have a custom list that I created for a drop down box. I don’t see how I can edit the existing list. Do I just create a new one?

You should be able to modify a list in the Admin > Lists panel. It is also possible to add values to a list via the workflow using the Append To Custom List task.

EDIT: I realized after that you may have used the Simple Dropdown task, which will allow you to create a list of options directly in the task; this would be a one time list, though. You could copy that task or save the action to the library in order to use it elsewhere, but using the Admin > Lists panel to create a list and then reference using the other available tasks would probably provide an easier method to maintain your list(s).

Thanks Victor. I didn’t even think to look there because I thought they were specific to the workflow not universal.

Happy to help! As for where to look and how to do anything with a workflow design, a huge pro and con of ECM is that it is much closer to an art than it is a science. There isn’t usually just one way to do things…

I am finding that out. I did some work on my own and then went through some training. More questions to come, I am sure.

Fortunately, the users on the ECM forums here are quite knowledgeable and helpful. Plus there’s already lots of information from previous posts.
