==Referencing the Value==
: <span style="font-size: medium;">'''@''fieldname''@''' </span>
: <span style="font-size: medium;">'''@''fieldname''.combovalue@''' </span>
or
: <span style="font-size: medium;">'''@#''fieldid''#@''' </span>
: <span style="font-size: medium;">'''@#''fieldid''.combovalue#@''' </span>
When trying to reference the values of this custom field type, you must use '''@fieldname@''' or '''@fieldname.combovalue@''', depending on how the field is setup. Typically, you can use @fieldname@ but there is a special case where you must use @fieldname.combovalue@ when the values in the combo box are 1=Yes;2=No;3=Maybe.
Using @fieldname@ will return the Yes, No, or Maybe. But using @fieldname.combovalue@ will return 1, 2, or 3.
* The first value listed will be the default value when a new record is created.
* This technique is important when translating to other languages. The '''StoreValue''' must be the same in all languages. See [[Custom Field Language Settings|here]] for further information.
