Please see attached image. </p><p>Usually we put Value first, and it is automatically&nbsp;copied to Display Name; though you can modify them separately.&nbsp; thanks, &nbsp;</p>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/105153.aspxFri, 15 Jan 2016 09:58:02 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:105153AKB870https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/105153.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=105153<p>When I create a dropdown list I&#39;d like to have different names when choosing an option than their actual values. For example, when I click on the drop down list I get the following options:</p><p> •Direct Federal Tax Law<br /> •Cantonal Tax Law </p><p> When I then choose one it shouldn&#39;t insert the whole name in the field but rather only the abbreviation. So when I choose Cantonal Tax Law it should insert CTL into the field. How can I specify this? In advance many many thanks for your help.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
