<emph>References Using Value Lists</emph>
</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3145295" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="56">For list boxes, you can use value lists. Value lists are lists that define reference values. In this way, the control in the form does not directly display the content of a database field, but rather values assigned in the value list.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3151186" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="57">If you work with reference values of a value list, the contents of the data field that you specified under <emph>Data Field</emph> in the form are not visible, but rather the assigned values.
