Getting value linked to Dropdown selected label

[mynameisfred64]

Hi everyone,

I m trying to get the ID corresponding to the selected label displayed in a dropdown list (like in simple html)
I've not seen any answers about it...
Any ideas on how to do that ?

i'll Appreciate any help !
thanks

Here is some javascript... not sure if it's what you are looking for:

ActiveDocument.Sections["EIS"].Shapes["DropDown_Name"].Select(1)

Hi,
From what i know with this you select a value situated at the index 1.
What i would like to know is, that my dropdown list displays one textvalue and stores the corresponding database Id, that you can get when you select a value in DD List.
In html : <option value="My_Id">MyText</option>
From what i ve seen in brio you select MyText, and you "return" MyText. No possibility of assigning another value ?
Thanks
