I know, we are using host lists in some (custom) properties, but I haven't checked the core lookup procedure.
I might be able to tweak the stored procedures in TurboSQL script to fall back to host lists, if no portal list is available - would that be an option for you?

What I've done so far:
I used this to add a data type....
INSERT INTO [dnn_calgarymalls].[dbo].[Lists]
           ([ListName]
           ,[Value]
           ,[Text]
           ,[ParentID]
           ,[Level]
           ,[SortOrder]
           ,[DefinitionID]
           ,[Description]
           ,[PortalID]
           ,[SystemList]
           ,[CreatedByUserID]
           ,[CreatedOnDate]
           ,[LastModifiedByUserID]
           ,[LastModifiedOnDate])
     VALUES
           ('DataType',
           'Category',
           'DotNetNuke.UI.WebControls.DNNRichTextEditControl, DotNetNuke'
           ,0
           ,0
           ,0
           ,-1
           ,Category List for Profile Settings
           ,-1
           ,1
           ,NULL
           ,NULL
           ,NULL
           ,NULL)

Obviously the third line is incorrect. I just used that temporarily.

All I need to do now is find out what that line should actually be.

Any idea on that one or am I barking up the wrong tree?

The data type shows up in the list but obviously doesn't work properly...I get a text editor instead of the list....to be expected.
I believe I have to make a dll for this to work properly. I may just forgo this item on the register page and do it manually.

I've posted a question that might give me an alternative.

Thanks for your help Sebastian.
