I've been doing some research with running XE/XEM 2.4.30451 installation working with my own classes and I am not able to get running a DBList with an ID Field and an alternative Value Field. What I sent in Value Field is both set as selecting value and value stored in the property. This is only valid for built-in classes as XWiki.XWikiUsers. What I get for a List of Users is first_name+last_name for the list (I always get a box with a scroll bar whatever selection I check) and the full docname as stored value (XWiki.fjrodriguezf,XWiki.juancrujeiras,...). I'll do more research next week after installing a new XE snapshot. > I've already seem these > link<http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/DatabaseListProperties>, > and also found important information about this subject on this mailing ( > http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/users/2008-February/010417.html).
