<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks for the suggestion, Adam. In this situation the autocomplete wouldn’t be exactly right, I think, as I want to use a multi-select list rather than a text box. But I will certainly bare that in mind if
I need to add another type of field (which I will undoubtedly have to!)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Is it possible to have a simple, multi-select list as a new metadata field but have the values populated by a files? What I’ve got is a list of research units that may dynamically change (they’re stored in an
Oracle database). The simplest thing I thought would be possible is to just generate an alphabetical list of those units into a file and use that file as the options in the select list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">What I thought I could try first was a namedset, so I added to eprints_fields.pl the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black"> {<br>
allow_null => 1,<br>
multiple => 1,<br>
name => 'research_units',<br>
required => 0,<br>
set_name => 'research_units',<br>
type => 'namedset',<br>
},</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">And added the namedsets/research_units file with the list of units (one per line). Naturally that didn’t work – clearly I misunderstood the namedsets a bit as it still required a phrase set up for each entry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I could possibly use the ‘subjects’ file and set up a new group within that. Ideally, though, I’d like to avoid touching that file altogether as the units may change over time and I’d like to automate the process
of getting the new list into eprints.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">If it’s not possible to populate from a simple file, then are there any other options? Would it come down to writing my own dataset object (or something like that?), or could the result be taken from a remote
web service or something like that?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Many thanks for any hints in the right direction!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
