I have been using DNN since version 2 and have just upgraded two DNN portals to the version 3.3. partly because of the new features for member profiles.

BUT, although I can add simple profile item of data type TEXT, I cannot see a method within the interface, of adding a LIST of items.  Sure there is a LIST data type but how do I customize that list.  If I enter a new list in the LIST tool that does not appear in the available data  types of the USER tool.

It is probably me, missing something simple...but can anyone point me in the right direction.

Also, I haven't found any up to date documentation for the 3.3 version, where I could look this up myself, is there some around that I haven't found?

The List data type works with the Host "Lists" module.

To use a List, select the List data type, and remember the name you use for the List based property.

Go to the Host Lists page and create a list with the same name you used above.  Then add List Entries to the List in the Host Lists module.  The value will be stored in the database for the profile while the "text" will be used as the text in the drop-down list.
