Creating a new value/name for each option in menu

Questions and Help
1

currently have checklist to populate education section of documentation, but its overly crowded when choosing options. What do I add to give each selection a shorter name that would then populate the full? Example: select option "25si" that will then populate the entire text string once selected.

below is condensed version

{note}{formmenu: default=; risk of increased SI and suicidal behaviors in individuals under the age of 25 when taking antidepressants; potential inc risk of serotonin syndrome w/ combined meds that alter serotonin levels\ name=educ; cols=49; multiple=yes; trim=yes}{endnote} --> {=join(educ, "\n --> ")}

I have tried to do this with togglefield and it worked, but there was no way to trim white space effectively

Hi @NDaddy and welcome back to the forum.
You could create a keyed list with the shorter names as the keys and the long sentences as the values and then use the keys as the options in the drop-down.
Here's an example:

{note}{list=["25si":"risk of increased SI and suicidal behaviors in individuals under the age of 25 when taking antidepressants","inc":"potential inc risk of serotonin syndrome w/ combined meds that alter serotonin levels"]}{formmenu: name=educ; multiple=yes; values={=keys(list)}}{endnote}{repeat: for item in educ}
{=list[item]}
{endrepeat}

Using Data Blaze to store the list will make this event easier to maintain. Let me know if you'd like me to share an example of that as well.
