[Vtigercrm-developers] V6 Beta Pick List Question

[Adam Heinz]

Yeah, I've done it -- I actually created a lead sources module around the
existing picklist.  I'm looking at my old scripts I did to do it and they
aren't pretty -- it's bare SQL from back in my 5.0.4 days before I started
using vtlib in all my scripts.

Basically, just use vtlib to create the module as usual, but when you
create the Vtiger_Fields, DON'T set $field->columntype.  That tells it to
use the already existing table column instead of creating a new one.  Then
you'll need to back fill the vtiger_crmentity rows (assuming you're
building off an existing picklist) and decide what behavior you want to
enforce when picklist options are changed.
