Hi, I'm working on my first Civi project, and most things are going pretty smoothly - I am very impressed with the UI, hooks available, and especially the views integration.

One thing I'm trying to do that I haven't figured out yet. I need my events to basically reference a drupal node of a certain type. I've created a custom field with integer values, and am manually adding the node titles as select option labels, with the node id as the value. This is working great in terms of linking the events to nodes and being able to filter them correctly in a view.

Now, what I'd like to do is add an API call in drupal that adds an option to my field if a new node is created. So I would add a hook that runs every time I create a node, which would add the node title/nid pair to my custom option list.

It looks like in the 1.x days there was a function for this, crm_create_option_value(), but I don't see an equivalent in the current API. Is this possible?

Thanks! I'm sorry though, I don't quite understand your instructions for backporting, could you be a little more specific? This is something I can do by copying code from an older version of CiviCRM?
