I'm trying to get a drop-down list item and a text field to be the same. The issue I'm running into is that instead of the drop-down list choice, I'm getting the export value of the drop-down list in my text field.

drop-down list name: BuyerInfo

text field name: Text1

Are you using a calculation script in Text1, or a validation or keystroke script in the dropdown? Which one do you want to use?
