List field displaying choice values instead of labels

Hi all,

I've just added a new field of type 'List' to my form (in this case sn_risk_risk). On the new field I've added several choices. Not that difficult I would think, looks to work, though...
+ When selected a choice, it's displayed fine in the choice list
- In the list the value is suddenly showed and not the label
- When the list is locked, only values are visible, no the labels

Double checked the choices and their values / labels: all ok.

I've must have overlooked something. Any ideas? An attribute perhaps? Or should I go for a different solution? The requirement is to have the possibility to select multiple choices.

I've never seen a list field used this way, so I'm guessing it's unsupported.  In any case, it appears that it doesn't work in a choice list configuration.  The simple solution is just to change it to a reference type list and go from there.

Please mark this response as correct if I've answered your question.  Thanks!

This behavior is still present out of the box in orlando, so looks like a bug they just don't intend to fix.
