This is urgent. I want to have a dropdownlist in my document type with some preloaded options. It will have an "others" option.
While creating content if user selects this "others" option I need to display a textbox and save this textbox value against this content.
I have no idea how and where to save this extra field value. Is this possible at all ?
Where do you need this option? In the Umbraco backoffice?
I don't think conditions are possible in the backoffice.
What you could do is make a datatype with the values you need and a value called: "others (specify below)" and put a text-area below that.
Thanks for quick reply.
You are right. I need it in backoffice.
I was also thinking of creating a custom datatype. But I don't have any clue where to save this textbox value so that next time when I browse this content node I should be able to see this.

Can you help me on this?
Thanks !
I would start by reading this documentation section: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Extending/Property-Editors/
Hi..
I have followed the above link and created the markdown text editor as given there. It's data is getting saved for each content.
But for dropdown list, it's not saving the selected value automatically. What is the reason for not saving ?
Thanks!
Issue fixed. Thanks a lot !!
