# ACF Select/Dropdown values

 * Hello, I’m building a site that uses ACF to add more custom user meta fields.
   The problem I’m running into is that we have dropdown fields whose values (for
   the database) are different from the display values that get shown to users. 
   In ACF, this is accomplished by formatting the options like this, as an example:
 * 49 : Alaska
   50 : Hawaii
 * But in Ultimate Member, using the Profile editing form I can’t find a way to 
   distinguish the value from the label. Ideally I’d like to be able to pull the
   options automatically from ACF, since it will be a maintenance headache to have
   to update options in two different places.
 * If this isn’t possible, then I guess I’ll have to switch to creating a custom
   profile editing page using ACF only. Thanks for any help.

 * Actually, both goals seem to be achievable with the custom callback function 
   option. That lets me pull the options automatically from ACF, with their numerical
   values. I think that does the trick.
