I have a list of employees This is a master list used across models One of the properties of this list is the Employees Initals I would like to either: a. Select an employee from a drop down but for the "value" displayed to be the initals or b. Use the Initals Property as the source for my drop down Suggestions gratefully received.

Hello Tim,

You'd have to do this across two separate line items, but could structure it as follows:

-the first line item would be list formatted on your Employees list and you'd use this drop down to select an employee's name
-the second line item (text format) could pick up the initials (from a text formatted property on your employees list) with the following formula: Employees.Initials[LOOKUP: Employee]
    -where Employees is the name of your list of Employees
    -and Initials is the name of the Property
    -and Employee is the name of the first line item (in the same module) referenced above

Let me know if this will get you what you need.
