Here’s my list of Geology Members in gint. I have the Color assignment in there for future development.
Here’s what happens in Administrator.
This is what the pulldown menu shows.
Why is it pulling in my secondary column and not my primary column?
The changes are all in the administrator form and NOT in the gINT database.
Yes, we are suggesting to change the label in Administrator, so that the user who is using the form knows which list to pick.
There is no other possibility in the administrator besides changing the actual name of the label.
Ugh. I'm terribly sorry about this, but I just don't follow where you are trying to get me to change things. My brain simply gave up on the week already. I can change the label in Administrator, but it's just a label. It doesn't affect the results of the pull-down.
In gint, I can't change anything. It's all locked in.
The workaround is to change the name of the column LABEL next to your VALUE column.
By default the "Value" will be the primary column in gINT (the yellow one) however, sometimes, the value doesn't mean much to the end user, that's why the Label is used by the Administrator to define how those values will be displayed in the form for the end user to pick it from the drop down list in Collector.LABEL which is on the top left is the Name (label name) of the component being added to the form. By default, this is the gINT table name. But could be change to display something else in the form. For example, in gINt the table name could be "WSP_MemberNAME" but you might want to see in the form only "Crew Member Name"
I don't quite follow here. Change it in the library and redo the admin form? Add another column with identical data?
Hi Jeff, the workaround here will be to manually change the label/name in the form to reflect the final desired column name you want to see in the list. As per our gINT screen shot, the 'Membername' column is your primary column in yellow, which in the admin form is reflected as the 'Value' column. 'Label' column in the administrator is the Color column in gINT. So the workaround this would be to change the label/name in the form to what you actually want to see in the final form.
