Re: How can I get an option/select drop down to populate with a table.myfield instead of the table.id (primary key).

Looks like you got it but you can also set var $displayField = "state"; in your model and that will use the state field rather then the primary key when displaying it

Thanks Folks;

I tried the various ideas provided and learned quiet a lot on how to
add/configure option's. Interestingly the easiest is to name the
states.state field to states.name. This way there was no need to
modigfy any code.

Appreciate all your help.
