* The first value listed will be the default value when a new record is created.

* The value '''before''' the equal sign will be stored. The value '''after''' the equal sign is what will be displayed in the combo box, but does not get saved. (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.)
