CHOICES Element (List)

Windows SharePoint Services 3

Used to define several choices within a field for a drop-down list.

Copy 

<CHOICES>
  <CHOICE
    Value = "Text">
  </CHOICE>
  <CHOICE
    Value = "Text">
  </CHOICE>
  ...
</CHOICES>
Attribute Description

None

N/A

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 1

Within a CHOICES element, each CHOICE element contains a value that appears in the list.

Remember that CAML is case-sensitive; the CHOICE and CHOICES elements are in all capital letters.

This example defines a Choice field with three choices.

XML
Copy 
<CHOICES>
  <CHOICE>Not Started</CHOICE>
  <CHOICE>In Progress</CHOICE>
  <CHOICE>Completed</CHOICE>
</CHOICES>

Value Attribute Invalid
The documentation here states that you can use the Value attribute to assign a value to a choice item. This is incorrect. When you define the field in an XML file and install it as a feature, you recieve an error. This is because the WSS.XSD schema file used to validate the XML and used by Visual Studio to provide InteliSense does not have a definition for the value attribute.

Incorrect Documentation!

I just wanted to add my agreement with what TLingenfelder said above. I have searched high and low for a way to accomplish this (define Value attribute in a choice field xml definition file to be installed as a feature) but have yet to find a solution. Anybody with a work-around please post it here if you can.
