(unknown charset) Re: Forms & List items

why would you want to do that?
you pick a field from a LOV for a reason. ie. it is the value that you want.

if you decide then to update the field then you should be looking at a post-insert or post-update trigger to make the change to the relevant LOV record.
in addition when you set up the LOV return fields set the property validate from list to FALSE. and set the automatic refresh property on the LOV to TRUE. so that it allows the value you put in and refreshes the LOV everytime with new data.
