Hello community,
 
i'm new in the forum that i'm found great !
 
i have a dropdown list with five values. Each value return a text in a text-field. Two of them are identical (e.g ABC) but muss return two different text ( e.g. IJK and XYZ)
 
first value ABC -> IJK
second value ABC-> XYZ
 
Unfortunatly, the 2nd value return IJK too.
How can i solve this problem ?
 
I use a switch (case) script with JavaScript !
Thanks a lot,
 
Obala

Two identical values are generally not typical in a dropdown box.

If you wanna use the same string twice you should add a space the the second one.
"ABC " will look the same on the screen but is differently to "ABC" because of the space.
