Dropdown saving prevalue Key (not value) to content
I have a normal dropdownlist datatype in a LeBlender grid editor. The value saved to the content is the prevalue ID, not the text value as expected. The behaviour is the same if I try with a dropdownlist publishing keys datatype.
I believe this is a result of upgrading to Umbraco 7.3.5. Pretty sure it was working properly before that.
@Mark, it means the value exposed by the property will be the ID (key) rather than the Text value. I'm not really too sure why that would be useful, unless you are doing a lookup based on it or something, and the text value might change.

Hi Barry, did you find the solutions for this? I'm having exactly the same problem.
See this thread Mario, not sure if it the same issue but you could try using my GetRawValue() extension method.

Thanks Barry, I just ended up using the publishing key. Don't understand why the Dropdown doesn't do what it should though.
I have this problem. What is a publishing key?
