'''Custom Lookup Options''' allow is a feature that allows you to import and view custom values datasets for lookups and validation based on client-specific dataneeds. For example, you can upload a CSV file that whose data can be referenced by used as options within a dynamic dropdown list to filter results based on previous selectionsselect-type custom field such as '''Select One – Dropdown''', '''Select One - Radio Button''', or '''Lookup - Autocomplete Options'''.
This can be used to provide large selection sets for your users, such as item inventory codes, 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 where the available options for each subsequent field is dependent upon the value of a previous field. This new functionality is advantageous since you 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 large amounts of text in the custom field '''Edit''' screen
