Hey Guys,
The other alternative is to take a leaf out of the comments for the forum question you linked to originally - they suggest using the uComponents package and providing a data source (either enum or JSON) - you can do the same thing in Umbraco 7 with the nuPickers package (which is the successor for the uComponents package when it comes to Umbraco 7).
Of course, if the state-picker plugin mentioned above by Marc does it for you, then all good - looks great, too!
Creating a new datatype in Umbraco 7
Anyone know how to create a custom datatype in Umbraco 7? I'm trying to create an updatable US State dropdown which is managable. I tried an example but doesnt seem to work in the newer paradigm - https://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/24031-Dropdown-Datatype-with-list-of-US-States but this is definitely what I'm looking for.
Have you seen this ?
