Drop Down List

My drop down box field is very small with long text items. Therefore I checked the box "specify value item", which gave each item a number. How do I get the value number to be listed in my box field and not the long text items. I am new and not familiar with scripting.

Whatever you list for your dropdown box in the Field tab under List Items > Text will show up in your field on the form.
Typically I use the Binding tab with Specify Item Values for referencing the dropdown items in scripts.
So you could switch the numbers to the Field tab so that they will show up on your form's drop down box. If you need to reference them in scripts, using the numbers or the long names for some reason, those would go on the Binding tab.
