Hi, a question about Dropdown Data Type. Is it possible to dynamically populate a dropdown with values which are entered in a template in the Content section?
For example, I have a template in which I enter data of persons who work for a company (name, surname, birthdate et cetera). Now in another template I want to use a dropdown in which I can choose the names op the persons entered in the other template.
Not sure if I made clear what I want. I hope so :-)
I tried the Content Picker and it worked ok in most cases.
There are situations in which I need to pick more than one item.
The Content Picker is restricted to one.
Is there a solution for this?
In addition to the MNTP, Nupickers is nice for this too as you can change the way it renders in the back office to show properties other than the name of the node (name and surname for example):

Hi André.
I would rather use a Content Picker restricted by your persons parent node.
Otherwise, I can be really complicated to populate a dropdown with values entered on other pages.
Hope this helps!

Use the MultiNode Treepicker instead!

And the v8 port is referenced here which I haven't used but googled :) https://our.umbraco.com/packages/backoffice-extensions/nupickers/questionssuggestions/96901-nupickers-port-to-v8
