I wanted to create site on SharePoint Online which will have discussion board in it.
My requirement is as follows:

1. Is it possible to customize discussion board to look in different way?

2. Can I add one extra column of type Drop-down to this discussion board?

3. I want the values (dropdown item) in the Dropdown will change as per user role. That means Employee can see some items where Admin can see all items.

SharePoint online only supports sandbox solutions at this time. Meaning, anything that requires access to the file system, such as adding custom application pages and GAC deployed assemblies is not supported. What you mean by customize is rather nebulous. You can use SPD to customize the allitems.aspx page for the discussion list, but other methods may require configuring the listview webpart or creating a custom webpart.

You can always add a column to the content type. However, having dropdown populated with different values based on the role will require custom code, perhaps a custom field type.

Hi Mark,
Thank you very much for your reply.

You can always add a column to the content type. However, having dropdown populated with different values based on the role will require custom code, perhaps a custom field type.

As per the above statement I can add Drop-down coumn to Discussion borad list by creating custom code. Can you please provide me sample code for this?

I want to populate values in Dropdown list from different site collections in same Farm and not from any file system. So is it possible to achive this by doing custom code?
