Dropdown values are overwritten when Label changes

[AramLoosman]

What happened?

When using dropdowns and filling in the Labels, the value fields get filled according to the label. So far so good. But when I change the Label afterwards, the value also gets updated. This is a problem because we've set up integrations and show/hide rules in the forms according to these values and those do not get notified when a value changes.

My suggestion would be that the value only gets written from the label if the value field is empty.

Errors and Stack Trace (if available)

How can we reproduce this?

1. Create a dropdown field
2. Enter a couple items e.g. Yes(yes) and No(no)
3. Create a rule which depends on the dropdown value (yes)
4. Change the dropdown item Yes(yes) to Maybe which results in the value to be also (maybe)
5. The rule now says "Select an option"

Thank you for your feedback on this @AramLoosman,

I agree that we should keep the option values the same when updating labels later on. I'll queue this for a developer to check into shortly. 🙂
