Hello,

I am trying to allow users to choose the text value of addresstype in a form with poplist.

In the addresstype table I have two columns - ID and name.

In the form I want users to choose the "name" and it will be decoded to the ID with a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger on the "name" field which I have set as a non-database field.

The problem is when I query the data back, the POST-QUERY trigger puts the "name" back into the non-database field and the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger fires and puts the ID back into the field I just populated from the database with the query.

How can I do this without the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger from firing when I am querying?

use
set_item_property(<block.item>, item_is_valid, property_true);

After you assign its value in the post-query trigger.
