Drop down options in Attribute dialogue box

Is it possible to add drop downs to the attribute dialogue box.

 

Attached is an example of what I am looking for

 

There is a free App in the store "Open Spatial: Attributor Block Tag Drop Down Lists"

 that does this but unfortunately working for the UK government were not allowed to download anything.

 

Can this be done when setting up attributes in a block.

Have you tried using the PROPERTIES palette? All you have to do is select a block and all the attributes are listed. But I suppose you have specific blocks that you want to use a list for specific attributes? Unfortunately, you can not customize AutoCAD dialogs. But you can use lisp to make your own block editor dialog. You would need to prompt the user for a block and then depending on the block name, you could use a specific dialog just for that block. It would be a nice project for learning to program.

AutoCAD Attribute Definitions setup with multilines will give you dots there to edit additional lines but won’t give you a drop down menu
