Hi again , can this work for drop downs as well ? so if i have something like this
<$select field="blocker"…> <$list filter='[!is[system]!status[completed]tag[task]sort[title]]'> <option><$view field= 'title'/></option> </$list> </$select> can i get the value chosen from the drop list to populate with brackets in the "blocker field " ?
