    Setting up datatype prevalues from content node names?

    Hi,

    Is there any way to add automated prevalues to a current datatype based on the names of content nodes?

    For example you have a job datatype and in the content area of umbraco you have a Job content node with a  child node called Teacher, and the datatype has a single prevalue of just Teacher. When I then create a new child node in job called Doctor, the doctype will automatically update to have prevalues Doctor and Teacher.Vice versa if you delete the content nodes

    Is this possible?

    Is there a way of accessing a datatype programatically through .net and gaining access to the prevalues? I thinking of writing a document class programatically that puts the node name into the prevalues

    one way to do this would be with the Multi-Node Tree Picker. you could create a MNTP Content picker pointing you tour Job Content node, 

    then the editor will see the following

    Programatically you would only have a Content ID in the content, but you can use that to get the title of the content, or indeed any of the contents of that content node.
