Hi,

I'm trying to add a custom dropdown field to the CMS:

<?php
class NewsStory extends Page {
static $db = array(
'Author' => 'Text', <---- this works fine
'Color' => "Enum('Red, Blue, Green','Red')"
);

$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', new DropdownField('Color', 'Your favorite color?'), singleton('NewsStory')->dbObject('Color')->enumValues() );

This doesn't seem to work. Any tips greatly received!

Thanks.

You have a bracket too early from the code you posted.

$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', new DropdownField('Color', 'Your favorite color?', $this->dbObject('Color')->enumValues());

Apart from that, make sure you've run a dev/build so SilverStripe can save the field to Color column.

Doh, thanks - that works.
