Hi Bros,

For your model, if the data is relatively static, use a CharField with choices. If the data is likely to change often, use a model for each kind of data and link them together with ForeignKey.

Then in your ModelForm, either the CharField with choices or the ForeignKey will be shown as a ChoiceField which renders as a select input in your template.

Hi,

You have 2 options:

1. You can use choices 

2. You can store data in a model, and then link with a foreign key.

First option is suitable for that data which wont change regularly e.g gender..For data that changes or need to be updated regularly,  then use second option.

Thacks Chucky, Since I would kike fot the users to personalize their own options I think I would choose the second option, thanks a lot for the advice.
