Value list for data entry

I frequently use a value list for data entry. That is, I insert data from one table into another via a value list. I set the first field of the value list to be the record ID and set the second field to be the client name. I then set choose the “include all values” radio button and place a check in “Show values only from the second field”. However, the value list only displays the second field if the field is displayed as a pop-up menu. If it is set as a drop-down list, the first field displays. Is this a bug? Or must I always use a pop-up menu to display the second field?

That's the way it is.

Unless the popup menu is fairly short, you'll soon need a better interface for selecting from many values.

Perhaps this article by Scott Love will help, Picture Perfect Popup Pickers
