I am evaluating Red Hen and looking at numerous aspects of it. One question I have is with relation to the Organizational Role field (as a Select List) under the Organizational Affiliation. The current roles (In the RedHen CRM Pet Shelter demo -- http://localhost:8888/?q=admin/structure/relation/manage/redhen_affiliat...) as set to Admin and Member. However, the big error message says that there is data in the database and the field can't be edited.

This seems like a potential issue? Is there a way to change/edit this? I can foresee a number of scenarios in which we would want to edit/update this list.

Regards,
Russ

If you are using a demo

If you are using a demo install then there probably is sample information in the database. If you do a clean install of RedHen then you would be able to change this before you added any content to the database. This is a common thing in Drupal beyond RedHen. Drupal tries to prevent you from making database structure changes if there is data already in the database since the change might corrupt it. There are ways to get around this "error" message by manually making changes to the database if you know what you are doing, but just not through the UI.

Thank you

iwant2fly, thank you for the quick response... I can see how adding values might be possible but removing (used) ones could be problematic. Thank you... I have a follow-up question I will post separately.

I haven't been able to find a way to manipulate the options of "Admin" or "Member" in a clean install. Can I without messing in the code? If yes, how / where in the UI?
