Hi Richard, Thanks for getting back to me!
Unfortunately the code you suggested in a render tag didn't seem to return anything for me. Can I ask, is there some documentation describing the tags? I've just been checking Markus Giesen's Unofficial RedDot CMS blog : http://www.reddotcmsblog.com/reddot-cms-render-tags-the-ultimate-list And trying to make a bit of a leap from a RedDot RQL guide we have, but I'd really rather not use RQL for this. The exact code I used to test was: <p> <%!! Context:CurrentPage.Elements.GetElement(opt_thankyou_and_error).OptionList[Context:CurrentPage.Elements.GetElement(opt_thankyou_and_error).Value] !!%> </p> Cheers, Chris.
