Please respond to that so we can work through this together. Thank you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populated-drop-down-value-and-text#post-104288 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 01:41:09 +0000 steve.fafel 104288@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Chris,<br /> I have been patiently waiting for a response. I paid money for Gravity Forms on the basis that I would receive some type of support. I see that you and other support people are providing answers and responses to other questions. If you could please simply let me know that this is a known bug, a problem with my coding, etc. I have provided all the information you should need to diagnose this issue. If there is something else I can provide, please let me know. We are using Gravity Forms in production and this is a problem. I have hired developers to make changes to our website and am paying them to wait for your response. Please let me know the status of this issue.</p> <p>Steve </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populated-drop-down-value-and-text#post-104139 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 17:13:39 +0000 steve.fafel 104139@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Chris,<br /> I really hate to be a bother - this seems like a simple thing I must be overlooking. We've checked the code to dynamically populate the drop down...maybe we're missing something simple.</p> <p>Steve </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populated-drop-down-value-and-text#post-103832 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 01:59:16 +0000 steve.fafel 103832@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris,<br /> If you submit this form (<a href="http://www.giftworksconnect.com/get-a-guided-tour-test/" rel="nofollow">http://www.giftworksconnect.com/get-a-guided-tour-test/</a>) you will see that the manually entered drop down works fine...like you described above. But, the one labeled "Drop Down - Dynamically Populated" does not work properly. If you submit the form, you will see the result page that simple echos back the values. You will see the results:</p> <p>*** Dynamically Populated ***<br /> Result: 290423257</p> <p>*** Manually Populated ***<br /> Result : First Choice</p> <p>The manually populated one returns the proper label (text value of the dropdown) but the dynamically populated one returns the value of the dropdown.</p> <p>Please submit the form to see how it's behaving and let me know what might be happening.</p> <p>Steve </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populated-drop-down-value-and-text#post-103612 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 16:23:03 +0000 Chris Hajer 103612@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Steve, I took a look at this form: <a href="http://www.giftworksconnect.com/get-a-guided-tour-test/" rel="nofollow">http://www.giftworksconnect.com/get-a-guided-tour-test/</a></p> <p>In the source I see this for your test form: <a href="http://pastebin.com/ZzV5VDZ1" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/ZzV5VDZ1</a></p> <p>From that, if field 12 were named "dropdown1" and field 13 were named "dropdown2", you should be able to get the label for field 12 like this:</p> <pre><code>{dropdown1}</code></pre> <p>and the value like this:</p> <pre><code>{dropdown1:value}</code></pre> <p>The label is the default, and you have to specify <strong>:value</strong> to get the value. Is that part not working in your notifications? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populated-drop-down-value-and-text#post-102882 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 02:00:06 +0000 steve.fafel 102882@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am sorry to be a pest. We are kind of in a bind since this is affecting our production server. Is there any way you could provide me with a quick update. Is this a bug, a known issue, did I do something wrong in my code, etc?</p> <p>Any help would be appreciated.</p> <p>Steve </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populated-drop-down-value-and-text#post-102283 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:25:05 +0000 Chris Hajer 102283@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It has not been lost in the shuffle.
