How to extract the text of the choices from a drop-down form?

[dbcase]

Hi,

I have the below XML code which works just fine. What I'd like to do is somehow capture the text of the choice (i.e. BETA, BHN, Comcast A, etc) so I can have another drop-down in another panel have the same choice prepopulated. I can capture the choice value easy enough, but I need to get the text, not the choice value. Is there anyway to do that?

input type="dropdown" token="mso_environment" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Select a MSO:</label>
      <default>BETA</default>
      <choice value="wls">BETA</choice>
      <choice value="sev1_bhn">BHN</choice>
      <choice value="sev1_comcasta">Comcast A</choice>
      <choice value="sev1_comcastb">Comcast B</choice>
      <choice value="sev1_comporium">Comporium</choice>
      <choice value="sev1_coxbusiness">Cox Business</choice>
      <choice value="sev1_coxhomelife">Cox Home Life</choice>
      <choice value="sev1_itscom">Itscom</choice>
      <choice value="sev1_peq">PEQ</choice>
      <choice value="sev1_rogersbusiness">Rogers Business</choice>
      <choice value="sev1_rogersresidential">Rogers Residential</choice>
      <choice value="sev1_timewarner">Time Warner</choice>
      <choice value="sev1_telstra">Telstra</choice>
    </input>

Try like this

 <input type="dropdown" token="compare_mso" searchWhenChanged="true">
         <label>Select a MSO to Compare Against:</label>
         <default>'$mso_environment.label$'</default>
         <choice value="wls">BETA</choice>
         <choice value="bhn">BHN</choice>
         <choice value="comcasta">Comcast A</choice>
         <choice value="comcastb">Comcast B</choice>
         <choice value="comporium">Comporium</choice>
         <choice value="coxbusiness">Cox Business</choice>
         <choice value="coxhomelife">Cox Home Life</choice>
         <choice value="itscom">Itscom</choice>
         <choice value="peq">PEQ</choice>
         <choice value="rogersbusiness">Rogers Business</choice>
         <choice value="rogersresidential">Rogers Residential</choice>
         <choice value="timewarner">Time Warner</choice>
         <choice value="telstra">Telstra</choice>
         <change>
           <set token="v">$value$</set>
           <set token="l">$label$</set>
         </change>
       </input>

[dbcase]

I thought for sure that would work but alas... no joy. I tried the below. Any other thoughts?

$mso_environment.label$
"$mso_environment.label$"
'$mso_environment.label$'

in this xml code

<title>'$mso_environment.label$' BEA Codes for $time_field.earliest$</title>

and

<input type="dropdown" token="compare_mso" searchWhenChanged="true">
        <label>Select a MSO to Compare Against:</label>
        <default>'$mso_environment.label$'</default>
        <choice value="wls">BETA</choice>
        <choice value="bhn">BHN</choice>
        <choice value="comcasta">Comcast A</choice>
        <choice value="comcastb">Comcast B</choice>
        <choice value="comporium">Comporium</choice>
        <choice value="coxbusiness">Cox Business</choice>
        <choice value="coxhomelife">Cox Home Life</choice>
        <choice value="itscom">Itscom</choice>
        <choice value="peq">PEQ</choice>
        <choice value="rogersbusiness">Rogers Business</choice>
        <choice value="rogersresidential">Rogers Residential</choice>
        <choice value="timewarner">Time Warner</choice>
        <choice value="telstra">Telstra</choice>
      </input>
