SelectionWidget

[monks]

hello all
im using 'SelectionWidget' Archetype to populate field with Drop-down list
Following is code:

  StringField(
        name='organisation',
        #accessor='fetchmethod',
        widget=SelectionWidget(
            description="Select organisation",
            label="Select Organisation",
            label_msgid='masterentryform_activity_label_organisation',
            description_msgid='masterentryform_activity_help_Program',
            i18n_domain='masterentryform_activity',
        ),
        vocabulary=["aa","bb"]
    ),

But instead of showing drop-down, its showing options in radio-button format.
I think im using right widget, 'SelectionWidget', for displaying drop down !!
I know when there r few options, it gets displayed in radio button format, but there should be some way or other to display drop-down

thanks

The SelectionWidget automatically chooses either a dropdown or radio buttons, depending on how many items you have in the vocabulary.  To force it to use a dropdown, specify format='select' for the widget.
