I have a Perspective screen to configure emails and have a dropdown object that lets you select the email profile. Is there a way to autogenerate the options in the dropdown based on the current available email profiles?

There's probably a way, but I don't see anything in [System Functions | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions).

Can you explain why you need more than one email profile?

It's just for testing and it will change when setup at different facilities.

Was also wondering if there was a way to have the dropdown setup so you could manage the options in it, add to the list or delete options from it.

Something like the `allowCustomOptions` property but the options would stay and could then be removed later.
