Custom field list--value different from name?

Hello,
I'm back with another question that I feel a little silly asking. So, generally, in an html select, you can specify a different value from the name listed in the drop-down select:

<select name="carlist" form="carform">
<option value="vo">Volvo</option>
<option value="sa">Saab</option>
<option value="op">Opel</option>
<option value="au">Audi</option>
</select>

Is there a way to do this with the custom "list" field? I would like to store school information as a code, but want registrants to have the full text. Thanks!

Hi Kathy

Unfortunately, at the moment, it is not possible. The value is the same with the title of the option. We don't have separate options, one for values and one for titles

I was just reading on the forum something about the custom sql field, which seems to require a query that returns a value and a name. Would that work in this case?

That might work. However, the problem is that when the value of the custom field is emailed to customer (or display on registration complete page), it is the "Value" of the selected option displayed, not the "Title"

That's the problem

Ah, got it. That's okay by me. Off to see if I can get it to go!
