Single list to populate multiple drop downs

New Here ,
Oct 03, 2016 Oct 03, 2016

I have a large form that has many different drop downs.  The drop downs are scattered throughout the form on many different pages.  They all contain the same lists.  They are simply a personnel roster that the user can use to select a team member from.  The roster changes quite frequently.  I am wondering if there is a way to create a master list that all of these common drop downs use rather than having to update each field within the form anytime the roster changes.

You can use JavaScript within Acrobat to create a document level array of the personnel names and then use that array to populate each individual drop down list using the Acrobat JavaScript "setItems" method.. To update the list just edit the contents of the array.
