when creating dropdown custom fields, the option values are also the displayed items in the dropdown.
Can we put in option values and option display text separately?
For instance you may have a dropdown to select a month like Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, etc.
However the value you want to store is not the month name but the number of the month like 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.
Can I suggest that these could be entered by a delimiter between value and display. Something like this:
1|Jan
2|Feb
3|Mar
4|Apr
If the | delimiter is present, the component can then have a field value and display text for each option.
If no delimiter is present, the field value and display text can be one and the same.
