Dynamically Populated Drop Down Value and Text

I have a drop down field on a form that is being dynamically populated using the pre_render code as described in the documentation. When I send a notification email, I want the "text" of the chosen option to be included, not the "value" of the selected option. I have tried to use {fieldname:id} and other options, but it always seems to return the "value" not the text.

Interestingly, when I manually added the options to the drop down, the text/value issue worked as expected.

Can you enlighten me?

Thank you. Here is the code for populating the dropdown.

// used for populating tour webinars
	add_filter('gform_pre_render_16', 'populate_tour_webinars');
	function populate_tour_webinars($form){
	    global $post;

            // Get posts for "GiftWorks Overview Tours"
	    $args = array( 'post_type' => 'event',
				'orderby' => 'menu_order',
				'tax_query' => array(
				     array(
					'taxonomy' => 'event-category',
					'field' => 'slug',
					'terms' => 'tours'
				     )
				),
				'numberposts' => 10);
	    $posts = get_posts( $args ); 

	    // Create drop down tour items array.
	    $items = array();

            // Add initial blank value.
	    $items[] = array("text" => "Select Date/Time (Eastern Time)", "value" => "Select Date/Time (Eastern Time)");

	    // Add post items to the tour items array
	    foreach($posts as $post)
		{
		$gtwid = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'gtwid', true);
		$startdate = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_eventorganiser_schedule_start_start', true);
		$enddate = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_eventorganiser_schedule_start_finish', true);
		$startdatetime = strtotime( $startdate );
		$enddatetime = strtotime( $enddate );
		$display = date("D, M j, Y g:i A", $startdatetime ) . ' - ' . date("g:i A", $enddatetime ) . ' EST ' .
                         date("(m/d/y)", $startdatetime );
		$items[] = array("value" => $gtwid, "text" => $display);
		} 

	    foreach($form["fields"] as &$field)
	        if($field["inputName"] == "gtwid"){
	            $field["choices"] = $items;
	        }
	    return $form;
	}

Any thoughts?

No problem...just wasn't sure if it got lost in the shuffle. What is going on with the drop down?

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?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Chris,
If you submit this form (http://www.giftworksconnect.com/get-a-guided-tour-test/) 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:

*** Dynamically Populated ***
Result: 290423257

*** Manually Populated ***
Result : First Choice

The manually populated one returns the proper label (text value of the dropdown) but the dynamically populated one returns the value of the dropdown.

Please submit the form to see how it's behaving and let me know what might be happening.

Chris,
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.

I have a similar issue that i'm trying to solve. My dropdown that is populated using a taxonomy will only save the field value and not the data i want it to save i.e. 1234 and not a location.

Was this resolved?
