    Hi Sean,

    To do this you'll need to create a data type (in the developer section) using the drop down list as the render control.  It lets you add prevalues to the drop-down.

    Then just add this to your document type.

    There are options to power your drop-down through other sources - for example in uComponents I think there's a SQL-powered drop-down data type, but the basic drop-down functionality is built into the core.

    Hope this helps...
