Question

ComboBox Caption correct?

0

Dear colleagues, I configured a combobox (by association), and it is working perfectly, however, instead of the "description" of the field appearing, the "Id" (which is the field I am recording in the database) appears, but in the text of the combobox The "description" should appear, so much so that if I open the combobox the description appears.Could anyone help me?Thank you in advance, because I'm loving Mendix (I'm new)

Dear colleague, I posted all the images of all the configurations I tried to do without success. and I had opened a link in the Brazilian community, (https://community.mendix.com/link/space/comunidade-mendix-brasil/questions/141709), but I couldn't resolve it there either. Maybe it will be easier to understand... I'm sorry for the not so readable English.. Thank you very much..

In one of your screenshots, there is an expression for the caption. Can you share that expression?

In a different screenshot, there is a section in the properties pane of the combo box entitled Store Value. As far as I know, this is not a standard feature of the Combo Box. Are you using a customized version of the combo box widget?

Thanks,

Mike

Good morning friend, I'm using the default widget, the store value was a desperate attempt to try to work lol... And in the case of the caption, I just take the field description (the first 20 characters) and concatenate it with the code. But I also only put it in an attempt to make it work. But I tried without either option and it's still the same as in the original print.. it saves correctly, but when it's displayed it shows the code and not the description of the item.. (after saving)
