Hi,

yes, you can do that using parseLookup function..

with parseLookup(namedControl) you'll get the text value of the lookup while with parseLookup(namedControl,false) you'll get the ID of the selected item (that is shown before ;# in your screenshot)

Hey @jackgelo, 

thank you so much for the solution you provided. The solution was perfect with a slight change.

I think it was the way I wrote my initial request but I only wanted the text value, none of the special characters or ID, but what I did was use your solution but changed the value to true as displayed below.

• Get text value only: parseLookup(namedControl,true) 

Again I appreciate the quick response and helping me learn a little more about Nintex! :smileyhappy:

Hi,

usually it would work also without the true parameter, but effectively I can remember some cases where I have to put it, while when I need the output with false parameter then it's always required..

Glad to know you've solved your issue! :smileyhappy:

Thanks for pointing that out to me. I will keep an eye on it, so I’m not caught out.

Again thank you, the client is now completely happy with their solution.

Hi @jackgelo ,

This solution is not working on my form. I originally had the parselookup(namedControl, false), "Owner" and that displayed an ID followed by ;# Owner . However, when I remove the word false, it doesn't return anything. 

Let me know if you need more information. 

Thank you!
