    Fast way to add items to dropdown list?

    I would like to create a birth date selection input on my form, and seeing as how changing the format of the default date picker doesn't work, I am faced with workarounds like this,adding years to a dropdown. I don't really want to add 60+ year entries in the dropdown by clicking "Add..." each time, but if I have to I will. Is there a faster way to add multiple items en masse into these boxes?

    Hi,

    You can set up a dropdown to pull data from a secondary xml file, but you would still be adding all the years to that XML file.

    Another option would be to make the year a field users type into.

    Good luck!
