[TYPO3-dev] Populating form select options in fluid

[Caspar Stuebs]

Hi Heinz,

I have tested this matter and I can't reproduce it.
I guess, that the problem is produced somewhere else in your code.

Have you tried to get the selectbox within a controller and template, with
nothing else then the selectbox?

Which TYPO3 version are you using, have you tried to use another one?

Maybe you could provide the whole controller and template code to have a
look on it?

Kind Regards.
Caspar
