How do I retrieve a split value from a global list option?

General

I have a gv(list)

With option

test1var##Test 1, test2var##Test 2

It shows correctly in the dropdown for the Global (as seen in second screenshot)
But I can’t seem to figure out how to retrieve the variable after the ##

Hi there,

As var as I know, the syntax it the list is:
value##label

We can get the value, but not the label.

You can try to put everything as label and use “split” to get your “value” and “label”. You can do something like:

test1var-Test 1, test2var-Test 2

value1: $tc(split, gv(test,0),"-",0)$
label1: $tc(split, gv(test,0),"-",1)$

value2: $tc(split, gv(test,1),"-",0)$
label2: $tc(split, gv(test,1),"-",1)$
