:* '''Important:''' Because the record cannot be saved with the default value, the first item listed in the '''Value''' section should be either a space followed by a semi-colon (if you want the field to start out blank) or an instruction to the user such as ''-----Select One-----; Please choose;'' or similar. You do not want an actual value as the first item, since the record can never be saved with the first value if '''Allow Empty''' is deselected.
'''<u>Referencing the Value</u>'''
When trying to reference the values of this custom field type, you must use '''@fieldname.value@''' or '''@fieldname.combovalue@''', depending on how the field is setup. Typically, you can use @fieldname.value@ 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.value@ will return the Yes, No, or Maybe. But using @fieldname.combovalue@ will return 1, 2, or 3.
