Separate Values

Separate Values can be used to display an option label that is different from the saved value. For example, if your user selects 'Black t-shirt', you can store the value as 'black t-shirt $25.00'. This is an option for Checkbox, Radio, and Dropdown fields.

Enabling Separate Values

Follow the steps below if you would like to enable separate values for a Checkbox, Radio, or Dropdown field.

1. Go into edit the field that will be using separate values.
2. Check the 'Use separate values' box in the Field Options.
   
3. Modify your Saved Value column so it is distinct from the Option Label column. For example, you may set an option label to 'Black t-shirt' and set the saved value as 'black t-shirt $25.00'.
   
4. Each saved value must be unique or you will have no way of knowing which option a user selected. If you would like to use the same saved value for multiple options, such as a price or a number, you can add unique text in front of the number or price. For example, you could set 'Blue - 5' and 'Black - 5' as two unique saved values. If you are including this field in a numeric calculation, the preceding text will be ignored.
5. If you would like to show the saved value in an email, View, or confirmation message use [x show="value"] where x is your field ID/key.

Bulk Editing Separate Values

When bulk editing separate values, if you simply type 'Option 1' on a single line, then 'Option 1' will be saved as both the option label and the saved value.

Alternatively, if you type in 'Option 1 | This is the saved option', then 'Option 1' will be the option label and 'This is the saved option' will be saved value.

Display Separate Values

Display separate values submitted in a Checkbox, Radio Button, or Dropdown fields in a form's confirmation message, email, or View.

• Display option label: Display the 'Option Label' submitted in a checkbox, radio button, or dropdown field. 

  [x]

  Replace x with the ID or key of the Checkbox, Radio Button, or Dropdown field.

• Display saved value: Display the 'Saved Value' submitted in a checkbox, radio button, or dropdown field.

  [x show="value"]

  Replace x with the ID or key of the Checkbox, Radio Button, or Dropdown field.

Display Saved Value as Currency

Use the [frm-math] shortcode to display the number in a saved value as currency and determine how many decimal places should be included.
