Under the General Properties you click on configure texts. Then associate a tag with the combobox. Then you type in texts and give them start and end values. When someone selects a text item in the combobox the tag's value changes to that text's start value. If the tag's value changes, then the combobox text changes to the text associated with that value.

what about when you need a combobox to populate its data based on tag values?

for example I need to use a combobox to allow a user to change a value from a predefined list of values, although the list of values can be changed by another screen with security privledges.

the values could be anything and can be changed at any time but when they are updated the list needs to update also
