Description

In ItemLink if the setting for "Format for Customising Multiple Field"s has a "=" between two tracker fields (e.g. %0=%1) then one should be treated as value and the other as data.

This will be consistent with the behavior of the "Other" setting in DropDown field type and will simulate the options of the HTML select tag.

The enhanced functionality will enable ItemLink to display one set of data in a drop down but store the corresponding value in the tracker field; for those situations where we wish to store the value and not the data that the user selects in the drop down.

Currently the functionality is:
<select>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>

The enhancement will make this possible:
<select>
<option value="68768">Volvo</option>
<option value="543543">Saab</option>
<option value="678654">Mercedes</option>
<option value="32342">Audi</option>
</select>
