Is it possibile to create lookup fields where the data is provided by external services?

#1

Hi everyone.
Is it possible to create lookup columns where the selectable data is retrieved from external services?
For example: I’ve created a region column where the selectable regions are retrieved by a government service that gives a list of all the regions of a country (e.g. Italy).

Thanks in advance for your help!

You could consider doing it with a workflow.
Something in the lines of fetching the regions every few hours/days could do the trick.

Hi Gianluca,
becouse regions should not change (at least in short run), you can create a module called REGION and import data from CSV instead of using webservices.
