OK… I had thought about that but saw a limitation (I’d have no way of knowing if a row further down the line should be selected or not), but I suppose I could have something like that apply only if the fields value is null.

The only issue would be that if you want to select an option without a value, every time you come back to the Edit form you’d have to reselect that option. Although I have a feeling if you’re using the ‘default option’ feature, you probably won’t have any options that have no value to begin with.

Anyone ever got this to work in a SAEF?

Sarge 1.2 adds SAEF support (sponsored by Masuga Design).

Get it while it’s hot!

I just set up a page for Sarge on Get Satisfaction.

Going forward, please use that venue for support rather than the EE forums.

Thanks!

This seems to be almost what I’m looking for. Maybe you can help.

Is there any way that the “option” and “value” can be used interchangeably?

What I’m trying to do is to build a drop-down list in which the option will be the displayed title of an entry in a weblog and the vaule will be the URL title for the same entry.

When the data is displayed, I want it to show the displayed title.

But I also want to be able to include a link to the article, which needs to use the URL title.

Is there a way to do this or am I stuck with 2 separate drop-downs?
