Question about registration fields: is it possible to have a list of countries when selecting the data type "Country" on the profile? By default I see it's a text suggest, but it's very unreliable and I'd prefer a fixed list there.

Congrats on posting!

I think it's possible, but you have to create it as a new list that you maintain and not use the one from the core.  But, it's been a while since I've had to do that.  Something might have changed since then. 

Also, should I bring another Woodford Reserve to DNN-Connect this year?  :)

I tried creating a new profile property but there's no way to link it to an existing list. So I guess what you mean is to create a new list, fill it with the same country code/names and use it instead of the default country type. Will give it a try.

As per the conference... maybe this year is my round :)
