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

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.
