I have a custom form outside of the CMS that pulls information from another section to poulate a field. I have an issue with the saved file where the field choice (after being saved) shows as a "Previous Selection (no longer in list)" yet that choice is within the list.

Any ideas? - Thanks nmsinc

Hi,

In the dropdown list in CMS Builder, are the list item labels and values the same or different?

For example, can you choose Sports from the dropdown list and does it save Sports in the database or something else such as a record number?

Hi Damon,

I see where you are going with this - made the correction and everything works just fine. Thanks nmsinc

Yes, for anyone else reading along or with the same problem what happens is if there's a value in the database that isn't in the list then we show it at the bottom of the list like this:
Old Value (no longer in list)

Normally that shouldn't happen, but when it does it makes it easier to notice and doesn't lose the old value.

Hope that helps!
