Dropdown list not entering correct values

    Hi,

    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?

    Thank you very much!

    Actually, those are not order no.

    When dealing with dropdown, MachForm assign unique option_id for each values (since the dropdown values could be numbers or texts or combination).

    So I don't think it's possible to store the actual values. Otherwise it will broke the other functionality.

    If you are trying to write an SQL query, your query need to lookup ap_element_options table to get those values.
