Otherwise it will broke the other functionality.</p> <p>If you are trying to write an SQL query, your query need to lookup <strong>ap_element_options</strong> table to get those values. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/dropdown-list-not-entering-correct-values#post-1305 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 09:51:43 +0000 bullcrappy111 1305@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I have a few dropdown lists on my form containing the numbers 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 and when I fill out the form and select let's say 9 from the dropdown, the data in the mysql is stored as 2 (I guess the second item in the dropdown?) How can I make it so it stores the value that I select, "9", instead of the order that the item is in the dropdown?</p> <p>Thank you very much! </p>
