Hi

I need to restrict editing one filed in my table to a list of approx 5 text entries. So this could be a dropdown select box or radio buttons.
Is this possible with JoomDB?

Thanks for any tips on helping me achieve this.

The easiest way is to use the ENUM or SET field type for MySql.
You can use PHPMyAdmin or any other tool to change your table.
Look at the category field at sample Database.

If you can not edit your table for any reason you must write
yourself a plugin or manually insert the select field into template.

Thanks Dirk.
ENUM works perfectly.

Cheers!
