I am using a pulldown list field which pulls data from a table in my database. I have set the option values field to 'num' and the option labels field to 'name'.
I have chosen this field to display on the list editor page, but it defaults to showing the 'num' value instead of the 'label' value. Is there a way to change this?

thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter,

You could try storing "name" for both name and label. Let me know if that would work for you.

Yeah that does work of course. But I want to pass the id of the category not the name.

Ahh, ok I see what you mean. That's a bug not a feature. :)

I've fixed that for the next version. If you're using the latest version (v1.17) backup and then replace the following file with the one attached:

/lib/menus/default/list.php

It will probably work with earlier versions as well. But backup first before testing.

Let me know if that fixes it for you.
