    Display rank in dropdown instead of name

    Hi all, I have created a form with a drop down list box name "Client" that retrieve it's information from a Sharepoint list. From that drop down I autopopulate (set a field's value) 4 other fields in the form. Until that point everything is working fine. This drop down field "Client" is promoted (property promotion) and appears as a column in my Sharepoint library, my problem is when I save the form in the Client column I have a number which is the rank of the name of the client in the drop down not the actual name. I figured out that when I modify in the drop down properties (in the form) the value of the external date source section instead of d:ID I choose d:Title it's working, in my Sharepoint column I have the name of the client and not a number. But, of course, when I change the ID for Title my 4 other fields with a set a field's value Rules are not working anymore. Someone have an idea ? Thanks in advance

    Usually, if I need the id for other reasons, I add an additional field to the form (not displayed, just in the schema) and use a default value to get back the Title of the item selected - so you'd set the default to be the Title field where the ID in the list data connection is equal to your form field bound to the dropdown. Make sense?

    Exactly what I did works perfectly, I thought maybe there was another way. Thank you very much for being so active on this forum :)
