Bingo! :-) Cookies for Greg.

Actually, the contributor type screen allows the addition of custom
fields too, and one of the options is codeselect.
In the scenario above, I'm providing a list of possible contributor
bios (which are actual stories) on the Contributor -> New or
Contributor -> Edit screen. In those stories, I'm storing a bunch of
information, including contributor photos, etc.
Working nicely now. Thanks!
:-)
Still working on this though:
3) If I use the roles option when looking up contributor data, how
does one get the value on role-specific custom fields, e.g.:
% my @contribs = $story->get_contributors;
% foreach my $contrib (@contribs) {
% my @roles = $contrib->get_roles;
% foreach my $role (@roles) {
% if ($role eq 'blogger') {
% my $name = $contrib->get_name('%f %l');
% my $bio = $contrib->get_data('Bio');
% my $bio_id = $contrib->get_data('blog_bio_id_temp');
% my $contrib_id = $contrib->get_id;
<% $role %>
<% $bio %>
<% $bio_id %>
<% $name %>
<% $contrib_id %>
% }
% }
% }
... does not return the value for the custom fields for the "blogger"
role; instead, it returns the values from the "default" role (with the
exception of the $role, which is correctly returned as "blogger").
Any thoughts appreciated.
