Hello everyone and Jive team,

This post http://www.jivesoftware.com/jivespace/thread/36436 said that in order to enter a drop down list under the edit settingsyou sort of have to hardcode the data in widget-props.ftl file, at least that's what I got from it. I did though just finish developing a reusable drop-down by modifying the  widget-props.ftl file, and it it works just like adding a radio button or text box in the edit settings.

However I would like to know if Jive reccommends that kind of action? Like modifying their own files, and if so how would much would it affect if we installed a Jive update in the future? What do you guys think?

Before I share the code to the community I do have to get my manager and software architect approval first, but before I go talk with them I do need my answers answered first, otherwise I would just waste their time.

Thanks,

rigo
