Forum user chronistin was struggling, like many do, with SAEF.

For a new project which makes excessive use of custom fields, I need the ability to

1.) Add and edit content from the frontend
2.) Customize the frontend forms (i.e. using the standard custom fields tag won’t work)

There was one major problem: she couldn’t “figure out how to get the values for the entry fields that have been defined as dropdown.” As with many of the downtrodden, sad and frustrated people that find their way to the EE forums, someone stepped in to help her. The result is the excellent Pops plugin.
