Thanks !

I'm able to create the dropdown list Named Datasource called "ItemID" using embedded data.

Then i created a barcode and linked the datasource to the "ItemID".

Now the only porblem is i want the ItemID field to print the Display Text, instead of the Item Value (In the Embedded Data list, because the Item value are actual barcode value and too long, i have to have a separate display text and item value because some items have alpha character, which can not be encoded into ITF14)
 

How can i achieve this?  I"m not a programmer just an average user

Thank you

The value column of a list control is as the name suggests, the value of what is set to the data source.  You cannot link the display value to a data source as that is not its purpose.  Why don't you have the text object get the full value from the list control, and have the barcode get shared data from the text object using some validation rules to remove the bit that you don't want for the barcode.

another bizarre issue.

In the named data source field that i'm using to get the barcode value.  If i set it as a dropdown list, it works fine.

But if i set it to allow text input, then the barcode never generates, any idea why?

On an unrelated issue, we have a text input box, on the Data Entry form.

We'll input the the case number in it, it's a series of number that increases by 1.

Can we have it so that it increase by 1 automatically after each print?

You can enable serialisation of a field from the option on the Transforms tab of the data field linked to the text input box on the Data Entry form.
