Get "Label" and not "Value" from a "Select options / Dropdown select"

Bother. I was meant to put that in before the update. I totally forgot.

I’ll get it in the next one.
Sorry.

No problem! I’ll wait by the computer until next update.

??

Thanks!

Hi, this is a feature I could really use. When is this update due?

Thanks for a fantastic plugin BTW, this is by far the best I have used.

This should be fixed in 1.1.9.3, which was released recently. Please let us know if it is still an issue.

Oh, thanks.

How do echo the label or value? %element% returns the value only.

Hi Josh,

Whats the code for getting the value of a %variable% ?

Thanks.

Sorry, it actually isn’t working correctly yet. even in the version I just released. It turns out it’s pretty complicated to do in a system that works on values. I will keep working on it though.

Just to confirm, this is not currently a feature but will come in a future update.

Hi,

I am wanting the same as above I think,
When the form generates an email to end user, it uses the dropdown menu title and gives the “value” and not the “label”.
(Using {summary} )

So I get:
Select Category: Film
Film Type: 3000
Film Term: 15000
Film Total: 18000.00

Instead of:
Select Category: Film
Film Type: Cinema
Film Term: Single use and perpetual
Film Total: 18000.00

I would love to make this happen as well. Otherwise caldera forms are the best form plugin ??

But this makes combination of dropdown with custom value/names with autoresponder user unfriedly at least…

Is there any workaround?

I think it would be sufficient to hook javascript pre-submit and copy name of currently selected item to some hidden field. The hidden field would be then accessed when processing the form.

Do you have any timeframe to adding this feature? Just to know if it makes sense to somehow hack it for one form or wait till upgrade.

Many thanks!

I also need an answer for this.
I have spent the last day setting up a fairly basic booking form, and would like the email submission to tell me what the customer has ordered, not the value.
As per Phonographic’s illustration, different dates have the same values – so that’s no help at all. I don’t know the actual date booked!
I did need to value of course – so that i could generate a quote.
I’m really hoping an entire day hasn’t been wasted at this stage.
Was planning on paying for the payment add-ons, i’m glad i haven’t so far. As this might be unusable after all.
Surely there is some workaround?
But it’s late and my head is all mushy.

It is a great plugin though. Very powerful. Very versatile. But i just need to join those dots!

APologies.
Searched some more and stumbled upon this page

And David’s insight – “ok, its fixed again on 1.2.0 use %field_slug:label% to get the field label over the value.”
This works! Thanks David.

Hi, how are you?

Sorry for my English. I am translating with Google Translate.

Is it only works in version 1.2.0?
I tried it in the latest version and does not work. If you could get that role would be perfect.

Thanks.
