Store selected option raw value from dropdown

Hello,

I am using Contact Form 7 along with Contact Form CFDB7.

In my contact form, there is a dropdown selection field, with the labels being names of departments, and the values for each option being the list of email IDs to whom the enquiry should be routed.

The format for each of the options in the dropdown field is like this:
“Department Name | [email protected],[email protected]”

In Contact Form 7, for the mail generated on submission of the form, I am using the shortcode [_raw_Department] to fetch the value of the department name, and [Department] to fetch the value of the email IDs assigned against that option.

However, on Contact Form CFDB7, the entries are being stored with only the value “[email protected],[email protected]”. Instead of this, I want to store the value of “Department Name”.

Can you please advise on whether this is possible, and how I can do so?

Best regards,

Prakash
