drop down lists

[Rik_Rowe1]

Can we show the Description field in a drop-down list then return the ID field associated with it?

Thank you.

Your EnumList column has a Base type. Set it to Ref.

Yes.

1. Make your ID column Key.
2. Make your Description column Label.
3. Make your dropdown column Ref.

Hi Joe,

My ID column is my Key. My Description column is Label. I'd like to have a multi-select (EnumList) so one or more Descriptions could be selected. I'm not yet understanding how the Ref column accomplishes it. I'll keep trying. 

Thank you.

You can have an EnumList column type with it's basetype set to Ref and you will be able to capture multiple options.

Make sure to configure the Valid_If or Suggested Values using a list with the ID you want to include
