Employer Info drop-down?

Is there any way to make the employer name a drop-down similar to the insurance company name field in the insurance tab? We would like to eliminate duplicate entries. And, if not, please change the php code to update instead of insert.

Hey,
The insurance information is not included in the current Layouts modules, so not as simple as the Interpreter item discussed above. Options include:
1. Doing a little bit of php coding in the script to use a list (or list w/add) feature and creation of a accompanying List in Administraiton->Lists. (note, this is what was done with the State and Country elements of the insurance form)
2. Get the insurance form included within the current Layouts modules

Option 1 would be quicker, but option 2 would be very beneficial to the community. Both require php scripting knowledge. Options are to code yourself, place as a feature request in the tracker and waiting for a volunteer to pick it up (unlikely in the near future), or hiring a pro.
