allowedValues from a collection

[adam-da]

Hi,

Is there a way to define allowedValues from a mongo query?
something like that:

...
group: {
        type: Schemas.Groups,
        optional: true,
        allowedValues: Groups.find({},{fields:{_id:0}}).fetch()
    }
...

I've added

    auxCollections: ['Groups'],

to the main config, but when I get to the editing panel, the dropdown menu is empty..

This is to do with the Autoform package.

Example

        autoform:
            options: ->
                _.map Meteor.users.find().fetch(), (user)->
                    label: user.emails[0].address
                    value: user._id

You need to return an array of objects with 'label' and the 'value' properties.

To get a good idea of how to build a nice admin, try my Meteor starter repo.
