New Ability to Import Custom Lookup Tables
====New Ability to Import Custom Lookup Tables====
Added ability to easily import large data sets for use as options within a select-type custom field. This can be used to provide large selection sets for your users, such as item inventory codes, any code dictionaries, or geographic lookups. You can also easily setup dynamic sub-filtering conditions across multiple fields. For example, you could set up parent and child fields for selecting the country, university, faculty, and courses and where the available options for each subsequent field is dependent upon the value of a previous field. This new functionality is advantageous since you do not don't need any of the data to exist as records in your system (as with the current '''Enable Dynamic Content''' option within a custom field) and it will be easier to update the options by importing them rather than editing a large amounts of text in the custom field '''Edit''' screen. You can enable this new option called '''Use Custom Lookup Options''' available to the select-type custom fields, such as of '''Select One – Dropdown''', '''Select One - Radio button''', and the '''Lookup - Autocomplete Options''', when they have enabled the '''Enable Dynamic Content''' option. The '''Custom Lookup Options''' were introduced as an alternative to using an API, custom script, or storing large amounts of data in the UTA level 1/2/3, as the data for the custom lookup options is stored in a separate table.
