Ho did you created the list in repo?
You have to create as a child of a node which you are browsing in the dialog?

Hi @arunpatidar thanks for replying and pointing to code but still it does not pick the list. Can you share a snapshot maybe of static list that is getting picked?

      Hi @johns56194565,

      If you're looking for a way to add/change the Type drop-down, have a look at my tutorial on the subject: https://levelup.gitconnected.com/aem-populate-a-drop-down-with-a-data-source-edafada90cc4

        Hi @theo_pendle thanks for responding. No this is not what I am looking for. I am trying to use form option component on my page which has option to choose source as static list which exist in JCR. I want to understand how the list is created that I can use as source. Please refer to the doc I shared : https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/experience-manager-core-components/using/components/forms/form-options.html it has an option to keep list in source.

        Hi @johns56194565 ,

         

        Are you trying to find an example of populating a drop down using data source?
