How to handle Blank Dropdowns

[BJ Freeman]

https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/partymgr/control/EditCommunicationEvent
the Reason Enum Id  drop down has not data, and it is visible.
I believe if a drop down has not data, it should not be displayed.
The other is that a log should show what was accessed and that no data
was found.

would this be an bug or a issue?

It looks to me like there is no seed data to populate the dropdown.

BJ,

I think this could be a form widget improvement issue.

xpingxu:
the link I used is the trunk version of ofbiz.
it is updated nightly.
I always check against the demo to verify my findngs.
Adrian:
it may be, but I have other Dropdowns that act the same way.
Like Y/N and all I see is
<select name="reasonEnumId" size="1"><option
value="">&nbsp;</option></select></td>
so I am not addressing if the data should be there or not, but that when
the data is not there, the dropdown should be invisible.
