[oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-9493] Load external data into form control?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Scott,

If you just configure using the CSS a combo box to edit the values of an 
attribute, by default those values will be gathered either from the DTDs 
(if you have defined a choice of values for the attribute in the DTDs) 
or from our content completion configuration file which can use XSLT to 
gather values from another location. Maybe this blog post by my 
colleague Alex will help:

Radu
