[FX.php List] Nagging FX problem

[Jonathan Stark]

A couple thoughts:

1) If the data for that value list is coming from a different file, it
could be that the permissions are not set up to allow web access.
2) If the values list is based on a relationship, there might be a
context disconnect. For example, a global value that needs to be set
prior to related values appearing.
3) Are there any special characters in the value list items that FM or
FX might be choking on?
4) Check for typos (trailing spaces in the vl name perhaps?)

Best,
j
