Create a dynamic select list with indexes from a file cabinet
I can easily create a select list from a local data connection. However if for whatever reason the local data connection breaks so does the list. Because of that, I have file cabinets set up with nothing but data records to use for lookups in workflows. It would be nice to use those data records for select lists but that isn't an option.

Thank you for your contribution. Your idea is available.
Sound like DocuWare Cloud.
Just create an "External" select list with a database connection. As database connection do not use Local Data Connector but the second connection (with GUID in it, a long character/number combination). Then you can choose from the database tables for all file cabinets. Then just select the table with your file cabinet name. If you do not exactly now which table you can look up the table name in the File Cabinet administration on Tab "General" at the bottom hidden beneth "More options".
