Pull data into a list for custom content type? Hopefully this is a quick question!  I'm working on a custom content type for users to create something similar to blog posts.  We'll have different authors who will be credited, so I need a drop down list so when a user writes the post, they can select the author.

The trouble is, I need to list to be auto populated from the data that is stored in a different field.  We have a content type called (you guessed it) authors.  It allows us to fill out name, field of expertise, etc.

So, how can I add an AUTHOR NAME list to my BLOG custom content type?

Thanks!

You can use the Entity Reference module to create your 'author name' field, which will reference your authors content type.
