Topic: Setting to only show common names in Select option
Hi,
I am trying replicate a form I have on an old site into my main site (development site) and all seems simple enough. The form is to record Red and Grey Squirrels so in the select species option I want people to just see Red Squirrel or Grey Squirrel. This works in the old form with old out of date iform code.
I have a custom species list on the warehouse with just these two species - it includes the common name and scientific name for each.
I have the form set to:
Only allow entry of one occurrence at a time
not Include both names in species controls...
Only allow selection of species using common names in user's language
No matter what I have tried it shows all four names (two common and two scientific) in the select drop down.
When I tried doing it with the UK Master list and filtering the species on the Taxon version key it showed all species names in the drop down including the Welsh names!
When I change the form to allow multiple records to be added - so the species appear in a grid - then only the common names show.
Help!
Fiona
UPDATE: I've got this working using the Tree browser control type for selecting the species and setting the species names filter to "Only allow selection of species using names which are flagged as preferred". Happily, by doing this, I've discovered how to add an image thumbnail for a species so the user can select their species using an image - makes the form pretty. The only thing I can't seem to do is make the species names below the images be the common name rather than the scientific name. Onwards...
