Can I create a custom field / dropdown that displays different object types?

Vesaro September 20, 2023

Can I create a custom field/dropdown that displays the names of object types? Rather than objects themselves.

So I would like to make a dropdown where the user can select which type of Computer part they want to add to the system via a form (amongst other uses) 

All of the categories have a reference as "computer parts"

I have tried various AQL combinations on the custom field, but the list always remains empty. 

Is this even possible? Or would i have to do this manually via a more complicated form/automation?

You would need to create either "place holder" objects that represent the parts, or a separate custom field with the options you want listed.

Ok, so just to clarify, no way to have an asset field that lists by the name of the object type?  Only objects themselves can be displayed?
