Hello,  
In a datagridview with a dropdownlist, is it possible to display the “Textvalue” rather than the “datavalue” when the row is validated ? (populated from a Global list)

**In edit mode** :

**After the row has been added** :

Thanks for the help

Hi @cpnamdevelop,

WorkflowGen always stores the values of the controls.  
In your case, just make sure that the value is equal to the text whenever you are binding your dropdown.
