So I’m working on a Food Bank management app and I have a small problem, so I have a sheet called “Parcels” and a sheet called “Volunteers”, There is a column called “Assigned To” in the “Parcels” sheet, Inside a detail screen of a Parcel item I want to allow the user to assign it to a Volunteer by choosing a name from a dynamic list of volunteers and instead of the name it puts the email field into the “Assigned To” column of the Parcel item.

> In the interest of some kind of data normalization and using key links in your tables/sheets it would be nice to display pretty text for the choice dropdown but save a key value to the database/sheet. This is more in line with how it is implemented in HTML which is what is ultimately driving things under the covers. This is the idea I’m talking about. The user would see the long text but the save would be the shorter. All that you would have to do is allow the user to optionally select a sec…
