* The first value listed will be the default value when a new record is created.
* If you want the value ''stored'' in the field to be different from what is ''displayed'' in the combo box you can use the following syntax in the '''Values''' section: ''StoreValue1=DisplayValue1;StoreValue2=DisplayValue2;StoreValue3=DisplayValue3;
* 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.)

===External Source Options===
* '''Enable Lookup From External Source''' - once a source is selected (the only one available currently is Google Civic Information), you will be able to map external source values to custom Single or Multiple Line text box fields. Note: if there are multiple values in the search result, but you have mapped to a single-line text box custom field, only the first record will be returned.
