Help with ditto and tv values

Heya.

So i have a some products each represented by a resource/document, using a template containing this TV:

[*Nyhed*]
input type:DropDown List Menu
input values: option1==value1||option2==value2||option3==value3

On another page i have a ditto call which uses an tpl parameter to a chunck that contains [*Nyhed*].

So i thought when i edited each product document, and adjusted the dropdown menu to one of the 3 options, ditto would output the chosen value for each document, however this dose not seem to be the case. Ditto simply outputs "value1" for all the resources, even if TV is set to option2.

Guess i’m missing something :’(

Did you try using [+Nyhed+] in your chunk?

This works thanks
also when i leave an value blank like this: option1||option2==value2, ditto still writes out "option1" when i use [+Nyhed+] - i want one option to be blank, so basically only the values are displayed

I think you have to leave the first value completely blank in your TV, so there is nothing before the first double pipes:

input values: ||option2==value2||option3==value3

Or maybe just remove the value from the first option:

input values: option1==||option2==value2||option3==value3

But I’m not sure, I haven’t tested it...
