Hi all -

4.6.5 and 4.8.1: Just curious if anyone has been able to set up a select 
box widget in the UI, so that it contains a list of unique values from an 
external database?  For instance, setting up the category selector for 
Items so that is displays every unique entry in the cat table (currently is 
simply lists unique choices from the category column of the products table).

I have not been able to get it to work with any combination of simple 
settings in the meta editor; It appears something more elaborate may be needed.
