Hi Matt,

I need to change background color of dropdown value

For example I have dropdown "Countries" having more than 100 countries. I need to change background color of 2 countries "United States" and "Canada" only.
I tried to do from this article (Extending the base Record view in Sugar 7 · GitHub) but not working
Any help will be highly appreciable

SugarCRM Professional 7.6.1.0

The technique from this Gist and the original blog post is not really appropriate for what you are trying to do.

You probably want to create a custom field handler for this Country dropdown. Our out of the box dropdown is the 'enum' field, you'll want to extend that probably.

https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_7.6/UI_Model/Fields/Introduction/
https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_7.6/UI_Model/Fields/Examples/Creating_Custom_Fields/

Under the covers, our dropdown fields use the Select2 library. So in particular, you'd probably want to learn about Select2 Templating.

Hopefully this gets you going in the right direction.
