Dropdown values in customCode

Came across an interesting question which led me to check and write a blog post.

Translate enum value to display in customCode

It is a two step solution.

Step 1: Create / Edit custom/modules/Accounts/view.detail.php add following code in function display.

function display(){        
         global $app_list_strings; 
         $this->ss->assign('APP_LIST', $app_list_strings);
         // ......
         // ......
         echo $this->dv->display(); 
}

Step 2: Taking an example of Accounts module, fields, account_type and industry.

'customCode' => '{$APP_LIST.account_type_dom[$fields.account_type.value]}  {$APP_LIST.industry_dom[{$fields.industry.value}]}',

Where account_type_dom = options for field account_type and so on.
