I am attempting to customize the NewForm.aspx of the Help desk template for SharePoint WSS 3.0 (yes I know I should upgrade and wil when I have the time to do so) using SharePoint Designer 2007 sp3.
I inserted the custom list form and hid the default form in Web Part Properties no problem.
I am able to hide fields and remove fields from the form with no trouble and everything works on the front end.
The issue begins when I created a Choice field in the SharePoint web interface and set it as a dropdown menu.
I'd like to add that field to the custom form however I'm having trouble doing so. Most of the info I've found online speaks of adding external data sources to populate dropdown lists. I've tried going through some of those processes to see if I could work it out but failed.
The field I want to add is called "Request Type".
In the Page Fields and Content field toolbox pane it says "Controls in this category require a Microsoft SharePoint Publishing Page Layout".
Is that what I'm missing? I figured I' could simply see a list of field in the list I could drag over. But I don't. Any help\advice would be greatly appreciated.
