I am trying to display in the content editing for some Contest-type in the backoffice a dropdown dynamically loaded with options from an external API.
Is there a (sustainable) approach to include additional functionality within the backoffice (maybe through some inclusion of code from an external project, so on an update I don‘t have to reimplement everything)?
Accessing external API from backoffice

Hi Jonathan,
I would use the Contentment package for that. To be more specific the data list property editor.
