aeccsharedpropertylists question

[w_vyhonsky]

A few years ago we added some custom fields to the structures using the aeccsharedpropertylists.xml, which worked great.  At one point I had it to where there was no pull down selection for the custom fields in the structure properties, and we would just input what we wanted in the field location, and the .xml file wouldn't update with a running list.  Now for some reason, the pull down has come back and the .xml list is updating with all of the new inputs.

Anyone know what controls that?  Its been a while since I created them, but I can remember at first we had the pull downs and then I did something to prevent the pull downs, but I cant figure out what.

Thanks!

In AeccPartParamCfg.xml

<AeccDfParameter name="Mat" desc="Material" context="Material_Type" index="0" datatype="String" usage="String_General" managelist="True" unit="" visible="True" internal="True" />

Add this to any parameter to enable a managed list.

Thanks for the reply.  I have added those lines to the xml files when I originally created the custom fields.  I'm actually looking for a way not to have the pull-down list like I had it before something changed.
