Pulling values from non cb tables was created by nbora
I have a registration form for which i will like to display a dropdown menu with values from a non cb database table. Is this possible?

In my website i have users that i want to select their organization from a list of values that is maintained outside of community builder so want them to select from that list.

Thanks

You likely can use CB Query Field and its Query Select fieldtype. It lets you query other databases (internal or external) for the dropdown options. CB Code field also provides a Code Select fieldtype, which outputs its dropdown options from custom PHP code you supply. See the below CB Query Field videos to get started.
