How to save the field value and not the ID

Have two tables.
Table 1 = Animals
Table 2 = breed

When filling in the form for table 2, I use a selection field for animals. But now in table 2 under the field animals the ID from table 1 and not the animal name is stored.
How can I save the name for the animal (instead of the ID) in table 2?

select field will save whatever you set as the first field in the automatic selection setting of the field.
so you should do : select animal_name from table1 instead of using animal_id

Great… now the data is stored the way I want :wink:
Thank you.
