Display the same field in the two section editors

Hello,

I have a multi-select list field called "notification_categories" setup in a section editor called "cms_accounts".

Is it possible to display this field in another section editor, without duplicating it?

For example, I would just like to make the same field editable from two section editors - so it's only stored in the "accounts" table, but editable from both the "accounts" section editor and another section editor).

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg,

So do you need to be able to have the list stored in an accounts record be modified from a different section, or do you need to have list fields multiple sections that have the same options?

The first one wouldn't be possible without a custom plugin.

The second option can be accomplished by having a section where you create your list and then have your list fields draw from that section:

Hope this helps
