Hi , We can use dropdownlist and enable them for multiple selected options. The value part we can assign to a page property and get the values with a map. like: ${pagePropertyDDL.map(id =\> "'" + id + "'").join(', ') I want also to be able to get the textproperty , like: ${pagePropertyDDL.map(name =\> "'" + name + "'").join(', ') Now the selected text is displayed in the dropdown after selecting the options , I want to use this in a overview to display the selected text options. Is this possible? Also after selecting more options than can fit into the dropdownlist area , the text is shown : "Selected 13 items " , this text is not exposed and can not be translated . Hope you can help . Best Regards / Mehmet ---

Hi @mcanavar, If you don't set ValueProperty then the Value of the DropDown will contain the "whole" data item. So you can do `${pagePropertyDDL.map(o => "'" + o.ValueProperty + "'")` and `${pagePropertyDDL.map(o => "'" + o.TextProperty + "'")` Here are a few screenshots: 1. DropDown configuration - Data, TextProperty and Value are set. ValueProperty isn't. ![image](https://forum.radzen.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8aca9469d9548e2287c951d93be8bf9832d0262b.png) 2. Keep the selected item texts in a page property (in the Change event of the DropDown). ![image](https://forum.radzen.com/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5dbb54895630211a87f7d3c2d10ccdafbb84ef04.png) 3. Keep the selected item values in another page property. ![image](https://forum.radzen.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9158af57bc3f67b36cb30b96b3a360c499e0d436.png) > Also after selecting more options than can fit into the dropdownlist area , the text is shown : "Selected 13 items " , this text is not exposed and can not be translated . We will see if the PrimeNG DropDown that we use supports this setting. If it does we will expose it as a property of the DropDown component. ---

There is probably some recursive code running at the moment. You can try debugging it like [this](https://www.radzen.com/documentation/debugging/). In case you cannot discover what the problem is you can send us your project over email. ---

It was indeed, infinite loop , could only solve it getting into the json file and removing the code. Thank you ---
