I have a need for a sharepoint list but I am not certain how best to set it up.
The form needs to provide several bits of information:
I am going to have at least four columns which will need to dynamically get information from other sharepoint lists. For three of them, this is a simple drop down so that should not be a big deal.
In the fourth case, however, the user needs to select multiple items from the group. I am not certain how best to accomplish a column of this type.
I also am concerned about the updates that will be needed for two of the lists. The data is a long series of codes. These codes are added and deleted frequently, and it unfortunately is a secondary source - the information is being exported from another application in some manner - perhaps as an Excel spreadsheet.
Is there a way to construct a SharePoint list by importing an Excel spreadsheet, and that the form that refers to that list stores the actual value from the list rather than a row id?
Thank you for your thoughts.
