Is it possible to create a new user field with choices in a drop down box?

So say I wanted to add, "What state do you live in?" .. I could have all 50 states in a drop down?

says i can only enter 31

Options
Enter the options that the user can choose from. Separate each option with a new-line (carriage return).


Note: You may have a maximum of 31 options in this field.?:confused:

Yeah, the way profile field options are stored in the database limits you to only 31 options (with default included, it's really 32). This ultimately stems from 32 bit integer limits. You may have to create a special mod for something more.

You might also look at this page for an example of what you can look into doing instead:
