Hello,

I am trying to do a form with some select inputs and I want to use options for that select list which are stored in DB. So let's assume that form XML file will look like this:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<form>
   <fieldset>
      <field
         name="test"
         type="list"
         label="test"
         class="inputbox"
         default=""
      />
   </fieldset>
</form>


Now I need to load options dynamically from database. What is the right way to do so? In JForm class and neither in JFormField(List) class there isn't any method to edit those options.

Temporarily I found a solution but I needed to edit core libraries. I added getter method to JForm class which returns SimpleXMLElement Object of that select list and then I am able to add my options using its addChild() method.

Is there any regular solution?
