MultiChoice Fields
-
I'm building some content types in Visual Studio and I have a field that is a MultiChoice field. I want to be able to populate the choices for this field from another list (that way the admins can put items in for the list and they aren't hard coded in the feature). How can I do that?

Well, when I don't be mistaken, there is no easy way to do that, cause MultiChoice fields are static. You have to code you own form, I think and replace the EditForm respectively the NewForm for your the lists using this content-type by your own form. The other solution is to use a InfoPath-Form where you can use an iterating section (don't know if it's called this way in your Infopath, as I use the German edition and translated the term) for doing that.

Yeah, I figured that would have to be the case. Thanks.

The only functionality that you want to use to populate the items from the other list means you can go for the lookup column.
