Thank you for answering.
In which file would we have to do this?
I have the same problem, in one add.ctp view i have the following
drop downs:
echo $form->input('producttype_id');
echo $form->input('destination_id');
echo $form->input('contract_id');
The destination_id gives me the real name in the list, the other two
ones just give me the id's.
I figured out that this is because destination has a field called
"name" - so cake nows this is the description field.
But how do i set this for the producttype and contract? The field
names with the descriptions are description in these tables.
Thank you
