option: data to show in the combobox and to display after selection.
value: value to return after selection, to save in the fieldname.
Remark: The field taal always contain the value. Also when there is a GET request, taal has to be the value. When displaying it on the screen, BOA will look for the option, and will display the content of the option on the screen. This means that for the iAPI there is no need to make any conversion!
iAPI uses always the value.
In the above sample the field taal always contain the value. Also when there is a GET request, taal has to be the value. When displaying it on the screen, BOA will look for the option, and will display the content of the option on the screen. This means that for the iAPI there is no need to make any conversion, BOA takes care of that!
