Repeat section control values as dropdown values

Hi guys - I'm new to Xforms and Orbeon.

Is there a way to dynamically set the values of a dropdown outside of repeat section/grid to the values of a control in repeat grid/section.

Sample orbeon code below. Need all employee names entered in repeat grid as values in the dropdown.

Re: Repeat section control values as dropdown values

Hi Bojja,

I am afraid you currently can't have the list of choices in a dropdown
populated based on values the user enters in a repeated grid. This is not
unlike `<fr:synchronize-repeated-content>`, but, still, different. However,
what you're trying to do makes sense, and I've create a Request for
Enhancement for this.
