I'm trying to give my users an option to specify how they want to receive e-mails (subject, frequency, etc).  The obvious way is User Accounts > Manage Profile Properties > Add New Profile Property.  Then create a new Property using a List datatype.  This all works fine on 4.5.3. You get a nice dropdown box with all the list values available for selection.  (The only odd thing is that the Localisation option which appears at the end of the new profile setup seems to be completely ignored. Also, I don't understand why the designers haven't used the lists available Host > Lists as it would be best to have just one place of management.)

However on 4.5.5 it does not work, even though the functionality appears to be identical.  All goes fine during configuration but when any user (including Admin and Host) attempts to populate the field (during registration or Manage Profile) the problems are as follows: 1) The field name replaces spaces with underscrores; 2) the data entry field is one column wide; 3) no data can be entered; and 4) the dropdown box gives one row with a single blank column.  Therefore the user can enter nothing. 

Has anyone got this working on 4.5.5 or have any suggestions, short of rolling back to 4.5.3?

Thanks for posting that.. it was exactly what I had just then come in here to ask myself.
Works if the name has no spaces... go figure.... That should really go into Gemini.

I'm also wondering if the field for the default value is working. I've made a list of options and it displays, but the default is blank. I was hoping to put something like "Please select.." in as a default value, but nothing shows.

Does anyone know if/how that works?

Thanks very much for the information. I guess there's also the option to make the list a required selection. Then at least the person is pressed to look for what was missing. I'll go and have another play with it.

I'm a little unsure how to use the value seeing as the information I'm asking of the registrant is already in the text options. I simply put 1,2,3.. in as the values. Is there a way that the value can be easily further utilised.. or only via sql?

Thanks again,
Rob
