SharePoint Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for SharePoint enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I have a list with several columns. One of such columns - called Stauts is a Choice Column displayed as a drop down. There are four choices in this drop down, and users can select only one of them at any given time. Let us assume that these are the choices:

  • Expired
  • In Process
  • Pending
  • Completed

My first problem is this, in SharePoint Designer 2010, I am unable to edit the items in the drop down menu under the Status Choice column. The Status Choice column is displayed, but, how can I on a click get it to "drop down" so that the choice values would also be displayed ( as it would normally happen in a browser)?

Second issue is this. I would like to use conditional formating to colour code the values in the Choice Column above. For instance, I would like the value "Expired" to appear in green, and the "In Progress" to appear in blue when selected. The colour coding could be a change in font colour or cell colour, so that users can quickly determine what the status is.

Now, I am starting to learn advance functions in SharePoint Designer 2010, so I am no expert. Also, I am no good with code. I would appreciate responses that do not require any coding or may be simple code tweaking in SharePoint Designer 2010.
