&Variable_TEXT doesn't work on dynamic drop-down lists?

Hi guys -
This is my first time to make use of the "Send display value" checkbox in the parameter control values in HTML Layout Painter. From what I understand, it is supposed to pass a &Variable_TEXT variable that holds the display value that was selected. Well, it doesn't seem to work because my fex is not receiving &Variable_TEXT. Has anybody tried this?

By the way, I'm using Dev Studio version 7.6.2 for this particular htm and fex.

Haven't tried it yet, but be sure in the code what you're sending out is spelled the same as what you want to be receiving in the &Variable_TEXT field. Spelling can get you sometimes.

Is this feature not available on 7.1.3? The server is on 7.1.3. My dev studio is on 7.6.2. Could this be the case?

In any installation, you will only be able to utilise the facilities of the server version you are executing to, in your case 7.1.3 if you are not using a Dev Studio server.
