    Hi,

    did you include this attribute when you select the record?

    Hi,

    i assumed you include this attribute when you select the record.

    Next, check is the optionset value contain data for the selected record?

    if no, you might need to put a checking

    example :

     if (contact.Attributes.Contains("registrationcategory"))

    {

      optionset = contact.FormattedValues["registrationcategory"].ToString();

    }

    Reason :

    if the attribute does not contain data, when you select the record, although you included the attribute, but you will not see the attribute.

    Are you possibly missing the prefix from the attribute name?

    contact.FormattedValues["new_registrationcategory"].ToString()

    Hi,

    Aric could be right also. just change the prefix in the provided code if he is right.
