Hi!

I had a text field where people could enter the name of the city. I could display it and use it. Now, I had to modity that, so that all the cities and tows are shown in a simple select filed. 
I had a table with all the towns. I have modified my text field to a dynamic select filed to list all the towns, and on the form view it was ok. 

My problem is that now, I can not see the value of that field. 
When I search for that field , it brings up the result, but but I can not see it's value in the list. 
Do I have to handle it in a different way, or what has changed?

Hi,

selects have values and text, usually values differ from text, e.g. you can have id as city values like 1, 2, 3. With text fields there is no value and text pair, value is already text. So for old records to display correctly you would need to match values to the city names or change old records from city names to the ids.

Hi Klas!

Thanks, I was expecting that previous values would disappear, but I have edited some profiles with the updated dynamic field but values did not show either.
