Let's say that I want to change the text in the select options, based on another input. Is there a way? <input type="text" name="attr_Dicipline1Name"/> <select> <option value="@{Dicipline1Value}">???</option> </select>

The only way I could think of would be to have multiple select options and hide/show the correct one based on the other input field.  But without javascript, I don't believe you can dynamically build a select option...and sheet workers, while Javascript, doesn't include the capability to do what you're asking...

Correct, there is no means to alter an option label. As GV says, you could have multiple select boxes and swap around which one is visible, but that may not be a viable option depending on what you're trying to do.

Not viable. This is for oWoD (vampire 20th) sheet. I needed to changes names in the select for 3 talents, 3 skills, 3 knowledges and at least 6 disciplines. Ok, thanks. "Discipline 1", "Discipline 2" etc. it is.
