When I use the set_relation for a dropdown, it stores the ID value of that record. How do I get the actual value of the dropdown being stored?

 

 

$crud->set_relation('Destination','Destination', '{Destination} ({City} {State})');

 

 

Thank you.

well there are 2 ways,.. 1 is... create a custom dropdown.. using field_type to enum with array of values to use.

Second way if you plan to store the value --- u can do a callback before insert and retrieve the  value and store it in...

 

which ever way u like it.. u can go with it. 

 

Happy GCing:)
