APEX

I've got a tabular form with a non editable column (display as text, saves state).
When I "add row" I'd like this column not to be empty but instead have a set value.

I set this using

default type: Item (application or page item name)
default value: XXXX

the default value is the problem. This value is (or should be) decided by a selectlist. The problem is that the value I want to put there is the display value of the selectlist, not the return value.

If i just put the name of the selectlist P66_SELECTLIST as the default value, I get the return value...

Is there a way to access the displayvalue of the selectlist instead?

Thanks
