KenedoProperty Type Dropdown

PHP class: KenedoPropertyDropdown
Recommended column type: Depending on configured choices
Object var: As property name

With the type dropdown you display a set of choices (defined in the property settings as key/value pairs), the keys are stored in the DB column.

Note: The type ‘radio’ works the same way with the same settings and displays the choices as radio buttons.
