i have used a php class called Formitable in conjunction with the code generated by PCG to provide a drop down menu populated by another table in the database.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Is there a way to generate lookup fields, or I have to code it manually?
In version 1.4 there was a feature like that. It was called:
"Drop Down/Multiple Select/Radio Button/Check Box Code Maker
This utility will code that will build a drop down menu. "
I can't find it in PCGv3.
Looks like it has been removed.
look into makedropdown.php of v1.4. Maybe you can add that feature yourself.
