Possible to list current diagnoses in a drop-down box?

[James B]

Is it possible to list the current diagnoses on a patient in a select "drop-down" box for an iForm?  I can correctly pull into an iForm the listed diagnoses on a patient using the @@someVariable@@ syntax, however when I create a select drop-down menu, the @@someVariable@@ never resolves.  So I end up with a drop-down list full of @@someVariable1@@, @@someVariable2@@ and so on instead of Chest Pain, Pneumonia etc...

Any ideas?  Our end goal here is when the physician launches the Discharge iForm, he can select the Discharge Diagnosis from the drop-down list of current diagnoses on the patient.

Thanks for the help.

I've used radio buttons to do this before, but if you can get your values into a different part of the iForm, you could potentially fill a hidden list (or whatever other DOM elements you'd like) and programmatically populate a dropdown box using JavaScript on page load based on the contents of that hidden object.

Same as Scott.  We've done it as illustrated in the attached file.

I’ve put variables in a dropdown like this.  http://jsfiddle.net/bradyrd/xs1whngk/

Thanks for the ideas.  I went with displaying the diagnoses in a list of radio buttons, since our clinical users apparently hate drop-down menus.
