Hello!

   Happy Friday.

 

On SP 2013, we’re looking to create a HTML table output from a repeating section that contains choice fields and list-lookups. Is there a way to insert the actual text, rather than the item #/choice #?

 

Current Output

 

Form:

Item = Look-up field (referencing another list), while item status = drop-down choice.

 

Hoping there could be an ootb solution for this.

 

Thank you for clarity and guidance!

I think I found a solution to this:

The form was originally designed using classics form.

==================================================

To address the Lookup control that I was referencing:

On the form, I added a “Calculated Value” control and used the following formula:

parseLookup(ControlName,true)

This returned text/a string, rather than a reference to the list item number. 

=================================================

To address the Choice control:

Once again, used a “Calculated Value” control and set it equal to the Control Name, while saving the data type as a string.

 

I added some rules to these control boxes that would hide these calculated fields from view:
