enhancement Human Task Outcome Fields using Simple List populating with Default Display and not Value - need the ability to control whether Value (Raw) or Display stored in the field

[Martyn Houghton]

Since @samwoo post back in December 2021, the behaviour of the use of Outcome Fields with simple list seem to have changed from inserting the 'Value' column to that of the 'Default Display' column. 

Can we request an enhancement request to have this configurable on the Human Task Outcome Field configuration to control whether the 'Value' or the 'Default Display' values are inserted in the variable when selecting from a simple list. This will allow use control at the variable level how we want it to be populated.

In our example of the moment we are want to use a simple list to allow the analyst to set the Resolution Category, for which we need to pass into the node a numeric value, so would want the 'Value' column from the simple list, not the human readable 'Display Value' (example below). However at the moment you get the latter textual value which you cannot use with the BPM node.

Cheers

Even changing it to a hard coded Static list, still results in the display value being inserted in to outcome field not the Value!

Having set the Outcome Field to static list drop down and then back to dynamic drop down one, it now seems to be inserting the Value and not the Display Value from the simple list, so I am even more confused than before!
