My dropdown list is saving the ID instead of Name. Not sure why and how would i solve this , i dont want to purposefully save the 'Project Name' on the create method becuase i still need the ID later to populate some fields.

What property do you have specified for the value in the drop down SmartObject configuration?

 

Changing the property will set the value that is set when you call the save method, you can also drill down in to the SmartObject properties of the control to save any of the values for the selected item in the drop-down.

We all miss things sometimes! Last week I spent 2 hours trying to figure out why some CSS was not changing a font only to realize I had a typo in the font name.
