Hello,

The easiest way would be to modify the dropdown values to:

value1;value1
value2;value2
value3;value3

Otherwise you will need to create a macro or custom transformation function, which would get the data from the database by accessing the class definition and extracting the name. Here is some sample code, which could be used after siome modification:

using CMS.FormEngine;
using CMS.SettingsProvider;
...

DataClassInfo dci = DataClassInfoProvider.GetDataClass("cms.user");
if (dci != null)
{
FormInfo fi = new FormInfo(dci.ClassFormDefinition);
FormFieldInfo ffi = fi.GetFormField(ÜserIsExternal");
if (ffi != null)
{
// now you can work with the FormFieldInfo
FormFieldDataTypeEnum dataType = ffi.DataType;
}
}

Here is some example code for the object CMS.Article and the field MyDropdown:

//getting the DataClassInfo for the given object (e.g. cms.article)
CMS.SettingsProvider.DataClassInfo di = CMS.SettingsProvider.DataClassInfoProvider.GetDataClass("CMS.Article");

//creating a new FormInfo object
CMS.FormEngine.FormInfo fi = new CMS.FormEngine.FormInfo(di.ClassFormDefinition);


//getting the field
CMS.FormEngine.FormFieldInfo ffi = fi.GetFormField("MyDropdown");


//acessing all the fields options
Label1.Text = ffi.Settings[Öptions"].ToString();
