Issue - Portal is displaying primary key not label

[bonzie]

I am trying to get a portal to display the label from the related table(s) and it keeps displaying the value/pk. The drop down select box to pick the record shows the correct label, but once selected it displays as the value. I've attached a screen shot that I hope may help see what I'm trying to accomplish. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

You'll need to use a pop-up menu to hide the key and show the related value instead.

Or place the label field over the drop-down field and make it non-enterable.

Great! I just tried it using this "label over" method and it works great. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I have a portal record displaying a single field's content as a popup menu on a layout form (so I can display the name instead of the stored linked fieldID). When we scroll through this portal field or more importantly want to delete an entry from the portal, it almost impossible because of this popup. Would your "label over" technique work here to prevent the popup from interferring when scrolling through this field on the form? If so, you could please explain how to set up this "label over" on the form? Sorry I don't understand how to do it.
