None

Sounds too easy or silly to have missed the admin for this one.

 

~~~~~~~

So, I start a new Project and I choose Type:

 

Q- how do I add items to the list such as "iPhone App, iTunes Store,..." or?

or edit the existing list?

thanks a million

  I don't know what the 'correct' way of doing things are yet.  But it can be edited in the "Fields" menu under the "Project" group. 

  I assume that won't break anything.

  Worked here.

  
  Have you tried right clicking on the field in projects page and done the 'edit field' menu directly?  Maybe that will work for you.

  Hey Bryan,

  I just added some screens to see if they help clear up the process for you.

  If you navigate to a Projects page, make sure the "Type" column is visible the right-click on the column header and select "Configure Field..."

  

  Then you can add in the new Project type you wish to include as an option

  

  Save your changes and then when you add a new Project, you should see your new Type as an option

  

   

  If you don't see the new Type as an option, or any of this doesn't work as we'd expect it to, drop us a support email at support@shotgunsoftware.com with any additional specifics that might help us and we'll take a closer look at what's going on.

  cheers

  How to do the same thing with API call? Which function should be called to provide other type name and what should we give as type name?

  Thanks,

  Gaurav

  In the API, you can use the schema_field_update() method to update the properties of the field (assuming they are editable).

   

      properties = {"valid_values":['Short Film','Feature Film','Commercial','Effects','Game Cinematic','Misc.']}
      result = sg.schema_field_update("Project", "sg_type", properties)
