Custom page label format for select

[Mackski]

Just wondering why the custom format is not applied to select options for page reference fields.
Is there an easy way to hook and make it possible?

Here are the appropriate (offending) template fields:

I can confirm, and also setting label to {parent.something.title} when something is a page reference doesn't work too.

I think this is might be related to another bug I encountered when sorting with page reference fields, i.e. "sort=field.subfield" when field is a page reference; it throws an exception.

Custom format is working normally for me in a Page Reference select field in 3.0.62.

This also works for me. Are you sure the 'something' Page Reference field you are using in the custom format returns a single page? If it returns a PageArray then I would expect this not to work.

Let me clarify, in the select aka dropdown, i would expect to see the custom format as per page tree.

I don't agree - those are separate settings and a user might want to define separate formatting for each. But you are free to define the same formatting for both if you like:

• Setup > Fields > [your page reference field] > Input > Custom page label format
• Setup > Templates > [your template] > Advanced > List of fields to display in the admin Page List

This is what I have done, the problem is, the custom page label format does not display in the select dropdown. Am I missing something previously stated?

EDIT: You are right Robin S, thanks for the clarification it was a typo on my behalf. Now working as expected. (Yes I feel stupid)
