0	Hi What is the datatype of the value which you are storing on the database? if it is an integer , you cannot convet this string value... If you dont assign separate values for list items. Then it takes text as the selected value. When you try to convert this string value to an integer. It will throw error. So, you have to do according to your requirement. if you need to store the values as an integer. then you need to have value for all the list items.

Hi

What is the datatype of the value which you are storing on the database?
if it is an integer , you cannot convet this string value...

If you dont assign separate values for list items.
Then it takes text as the selected value.

When you try to convert this string value to an integer.
It will throw error.

So, you have to do according to your requirement.
if you need to store the values as an integer. then you need to have value for all the list items.

Thanks & Regards,
