dynamic valuelist show another value

Newbie & hobbyist here…

I have a dynamic valuelist that shows the value of NAME. It shows the NAME and returns the IDVALUE in the dataprovider (this is what I want).

When I leave the record and come back to it, it shows IDVALUE in the field. How do I get it to keep the NAME showing in the field?

Any help will be appreciated.

I don’t know for sure of course but when you see the id instead of the name I think the name is not in the list at that time. It should be otherwise there is nothing to show.

what kind of field is it
and is that field editable?

The field is USERID from the DATAPROVIDER is INTEGER (This is probably the issue.)
No, it is not editable.

at the time I pick the value, it does show the name & list of names correctly. When I browse away from the record, it replaces the name with the USERID for that name.

For example:
This list is supposed to show LASTNAME whose record is tagged as NEWBIE.
The list shows and I select the LASTNAME needed -DOE.
Browse away from the record & come back to it and it shows the USERID -5, instead of the LASTNAME -DOE.

It makes sense it shows the USERID. This is what I want to return to the DP. How do I show LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME on the screen and return the USERID to the DP?

I’m surprised I got this far. I hope this makes sense.

it should only display the integer value if the display value can’t be found. Can you make a case with a sample solution in our support system?

Treat me stupid. Where would I find that?

This isn’t a bug, this is a how-do-I.

Is it possible to pay someone to help me overcome this quickly?
