The capability to have a different value was added to Gravity Forms a few releases ago. So it is a feature that is in the form builder for drop down, radio button and checkbox fields. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-choice-different-labels-and-values#post-15028 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 01:29:07 +0000 Osky Interactive Ryan 15028@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This thread haven't been answered yet.

Thanks so much for your work on this. Given that I'm off to hike for the next seven months, I'll look forward to it when I come back.</p> <p>CW </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-choice-different-labels-and-values#post-3674 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:08:41 +0000 Carl Hancock 3674@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This feature is planned for one of the next feature releases. I'm not sure which one it will be included in because we have a bunch of new features we are working on so it depends on a variety of factors but it is something we are going to be adding.</p> <p>Please note that feature releases differ from bug fix and maintenance releases. For example, 1.3.10 was a maintenance release that primarily fixed bugs or issues and didn't introduce major new features. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-choice-different-labels-and-values#post-3672 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:46:00 +0000 Christopher Wulff 3672@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Was any further progress made on this? It occurred to me that it might also be possible to automate it through the backend in terms of the email routing, ie. if field is this, send to ... but there's no batch way to add those, is there? </p> <p>Thinking in terms of enabling people to put in their zip code and have the email be sent to their local politician. But that would be painfully slow to create. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-choice-different-labels-and-values#post-2388 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:47:26 +0000 Idealien 2388@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Please please PLEASE put this near the top of your feature lists for future updates. Matched with the conditional logic this would be a powerful way to enable quote tools / estimate calculators.</p> <p>Usage Example<br /> i.e. A client wants to let their customers easily price out the rough costs on a bulk ice cream order. Using drop-downs they can specific the type(s) of ice cream they'd like to order and each one has a price to be stored in the value field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-choice-different-labels-and-values#post-245 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:16:37 +0000 Carl Hancock 245@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello Christopher, currently that is not possible. But you spurred a good discussion over here about that functionality and we are going to look at it and see what we can do to make it happen. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-choice-different-labels-and-values#post-243 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:34:53 +0000 Christopher Wulff 243@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>Loving Gravity Forms so far. One thing I wanted to explore the possibility of is having the label of a multiple choice (or checkbox or dropdown) selection read one thing on the public side, while the value it submits is something else.</p> <p>In case this doesn't make sense, here's what I'm hoping to do: People filling out the form can choose the person to whom they want to send email by name. The value that the form stores when that name is selected though would be the person's email address so that it could be passed into the email notifications. </p> <p>Would be particularly useful to me for email campaigns where people could select their local representative by name and we could forward their message to that person's email address.</p> <p>Is there an existing way to do this in Gravity Forms that I haven't figured out?</p> <p>Many thanks,<br /> Christopher </p>
