Is it possible to create a dropdown list from an online XML? I have a URL in XML format with talent names, fed into Datalinq. I would like to have the names in the Custom\Name tag to end up in a dropdown list. Sample XML below. Thank you.

You can add the xml to datalinq and then create a drop down and used datalinq as the source.
