Hello!

I have a payments form with a drop-down menu to select a member's name. The "value" for the drop-down is the member's ID and I want the "label" to be a string of the member's first and last names, which are in two separate table fields/columns.

I can do this by hand coding, but can I do it with Kollection somehow -- combine the first- and last-name fields as the label in the drop down?

Hi,

you´ll need to modify the original menu recordset and use the CONCAT function for combining two column, example:

SELECT CONCAT(first_name, " ", last_name) AS fullname, member_id FROM tablename

Once you have this declared, just use the alias column "fullname" as menu label

Cheers,
