How do I show the name of the item and its description in a dropdown?
Step-by-step guide
Click on Modules.
Select the Module with the appropriate form field.
Select Forms tab.
Select Field List button "Create/Update Fields"
Use the filter to search for the relevant field.
Select Edit on the field.
Select Custom JavaScript tab.
In the “Filter” section type
for (var i = 0, len = fieldScope.items.length; i < len; i++) {
var item = fieldScope.items[i];
if (!item.descriptionAppended) {
var separator = '-';
item.descriptionAppended = true;
item.text = item.text + separator + item.description;
}
}
return fieldScope.items;
(Example: If you want a diverse set of separator characters, then you need to change the value of the separator variable in the JavaScript.)
