    Hey,

    I am working to update a website that connects patients with therapists. We’ve been using the connections plugin for a few years on this site and it’s been great.

    The new challenge we’re facing is adding custom entry fields for new contextual data. When our client is adding a new entry listing, they’ll need to be able to add:

    • Additional cities (from a pre-set list)
    • Specialties in their field (from a pre-set list)
    • Therapeutic Approaches (from a pre-set list)

    Basically all drop down, checkbox style fields. As an example, here is the page we use to collect data http://www.oamft.com/listing-add/. We’d like the add listing page to work much the same way for these 3 new fields.

    The “add custom field” option with the metadata is not cutting it for us at the moment and is too complicated for the people responsible for data entry.

    Thanks!

    If any further clarification is needed let me know!

    @ Brandon

    The page you linked to as an example requires a login to view. Could you contact me via the link at the bottom of the page? We can discuss this in further detail.
