Drop downs

[Brandon N]

Hello I am new to memento database and I am use to more te old school database stuff. I see lots of similarities but I'm struggling in adding a drop down menu off of like an inventory item. More so I'm trying to build a plant database for my houseplants and I want to have an inventory but use only the plants in inventory in the drop down menu when taking notes.

I believe you just need to use a "Single Choice List" field or a "Multiple Choice List" field, as exemplified below:

Here are all field types:
Field types – Memento Database Help

The template "Memento Fields Master List" (url below, or in the template area) shows examples of all field types:

Hallo

Wenn du mehrere Daten für die Pflanze hast , kannst du auch ein " Link to entry " feld verwenten . Damit verlinkst du auf eine andere Bibliothek und kannst vor dort einträge auswählen .

Hello

If you have multiple data points for the plant, you can also use a "Link to entry" field. This links to another library, allowing you to select entries from there.
