How to update the options of a select list?

nsak

hi,

when updating the options of a select list, according to the data of a table in my database, I need the first option to be a message, something like "Please select one of the following". So, I tried this:

...    
{
            "label": "list",
            "name": "tableID.list",
            "type": "select",
            "ipOpts": [
                {
                    "label": "Please select",
                    "value": 0
                }
            ]
        }
...

and then,

editor.field( 'tableID.list' ).update( ... );

But it doesn't seem to make any difference, meaning that I still see only the options that come from the database. Is there a way I can do it?

Thanks!!!

The update() method will completely replace the list of options available, so you would need to also include the "Please select" in that list.
