External Text File for Drop-down Box Options
I apologize if this question has been asked before. It has been some time since I've been here and reading messages.

In the configuration file, is there a way to pull-in a list of variables for a drop-down box? Fox example, the current configuration file reads:

%db_select_fields = (
Fieldname1 => 'Option1,Option2,Option3',
Fieldname2 => 'OptionA,OptionB,OptionC'
);

Would I be able to have an external text file consisting of the values that the configuration file would be able to read? On occassion I need to update the drop-down, which means i would have to open the configuration file, add the new option, save it, upload it, change rights, etc. By having an external file I would just update the one-liner (i.e. Option1,Option2,Option3,Option4, etc.) and upload it.

Thanks in advance!
