The first field is a dropdown where the user should select the parent post. My problem is that I get the value returned for the dropdown and not the description field. </p> <p>My question is: how to populate the dropdown and also get the data avaliable from all the custom post fields of the parent so it can be used to display information on the child post</p> <p>Hope someone can help<br /> Luit </p>
