Hello All!

I'm writing some custom policies in RAM and have a question.

I've successfully made a simple policy that has a single text parameter, but I'd like to have a drop-down list on my custom policy to let the admin choose from a list when they are configuring the policy.  I've seen some policies use checkboxes, so I know those are possible.

I assume I must do something special when I set the ConfigurationDetails object, but beyond that I don't know what to do.

Here is my code snippet for creating my text parameter on my current custom policy:

public static final ConfigurationDetails[] CONFIG_DETAILS = {
new ConfigurationDetails(REGEX, "Asset Name Validation Regex", "This regular expression will be used to validate the asset name", false, false)
};


How do I make drop down lists and checkboxes parameters on my custom policy?

Thanks!

Go to here in the help:

This shows you the javadoc for the different styles of configuration details.
