Hi Michel,

Use the below code to do the same programmatically.

First Add the Expando :
expandoBridge.addAttribute(name, type);
			
Then Update the Attribute Properties :	
UnicodeProperties properties = new UnicodeProperties();
properties.setProperty(ExpandoColumnConstants.PROPERTY_DISPLAY_TYPE, ExpandoColumnConstants.PROPERTY_DISPLAY_TYPE_SELECTION_LIST);
expandoBridge.setAttributeProperties(name, properties);

Tanweer.

If i understood your question correctly then by passing correct type and default values you can create custom field with any type.

i.e Let say for user if you wan to add custom field as drop down with default values.

themeDisplay.getUser().getExpandoBridge().addAttribute("custom-field-name", ExpandoColumnConstants.STRING_ARRAY, defaultValues);
