Hi
Dunno if the right recipient, but..
I'm trying to see if the module is well-suited for my purpose. I have a has-a
relationship between two classes. The parent class exports its primary key
(integer, auto-increment) to the child class. Both to_cgi and to_field
methods correctly create the <select> tag, but the values are integers. Not
very descriptive to a potential end-user.
Is there any way to instruct the module to populate the dropdown box with more
descriptive values from another column (not primary key) in the parent class?
disclaimer: perl isn't the language I have work-experience with. If I've
overlooked something obvious feel free to point it out, and I'll regret in
advance wasting your time.
Thanks
