Are you possibly missing the prefix from the attribute name?

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

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.
