Getting the value chosen by user in a 'Select From List' field

Issue

• How to get the value from the options added in a 'Select From List' field? We are getting the reference (i.e. ["Option37425674"]) instead of the value chosen by the user.

Environment

• Quarterly Release

Resolution

• Following example can be used as reference (it is a Widget Template of type Search Results Template):

<#if entries?has_content>
  <#list entries as entry>
    <#if entry.getClassName() == "com.liferay.journal.model.JournalArticle" >
      <#assign journalArticleLocalService = serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.journal.service.JournalArticleLocalService") />
      <#assign journalArticle = journalArticleLocalService.getLatestArticle(entry.getClassPK())/>
      <#assign ddmStructure = journalArticle.getDDMStructure() />
      <#assign ddmForm = ddmStructure.getDDMForm()/>
      <#assign ddmFieldLocalService = serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.dynamic.data.mapping.service.DDMFieldLocalService")/> 
      <#assign ddmFormValues = ddmFieldLocalService.getDDMFormValues(ddmForm, journalArticle.getId()) />
      <#assign ddmFormFieldValues = ddmFormValues.getDDMFormFieldValues() />

      <#list ddmFormFieldValues as fieldName>
        <#assign ddmFormFieldOptions = fieldName.getDDMFormField().getDDMFormFieldOptions() />
        <#assign optionsValues = ddmFormFieldOptions.getOptionsValues() />
        <#assign options = ddmFormFieldOptions.getOptions() />

        <#list optionsValues as optionValue>
          <#if fieldName.getFieldReference() == 'Select78866849'>
            <#if optionValue == fieldName.getValue().getString(locale)?remove_beginning("[\"")?remove_ending("\"]") > 
              <#list options as k, v>
                <#if optionValue == k >
                  Option ${fieldName.getValue().getString(locale)} has ${v.getString(locale)} as value
                </#if>
              </#list>
            </#if>
          </#if>
        </#list>
      </#list>
    </#if>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
  </#list>
</#if>
