<description>&#60;p&#62;I've added lists functionality and everything is working except for the actual list id getting updated&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://grabs.transitnetwork.ca/wQE0C4kjhNZm2taC.png&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://grabs.transitnetwork.ca/wQE0C4kjhNZm2taC.png&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Here's what I've done&#60;br /&#62;
1. Created a new field type called Dynamic List&#60;br /&#62;
2. allow user to select a list created in custom list manager (it shows up)&#60;br /&#62;
3. made a element_list_id column in form_elements table, since one element can only use a single list id&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the dropdown value from the form editor into the database, I'm sure it's something in builder.js but I could really use a pointer. Here's my builder.js file &#60;a href=&#34;http://pastebin.com/SaCx5WCW&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://pastebin.com/SaCx5WCW&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;the element type is named sql_select
&#60;/p&#62;</description>
