I have drop down called ‘NAMES’ for a module. I have name1, name2, name3 and name 4 in the dropdown to select. When users are selecting name1 or name3. It is getting stored in the DB like ^name1^ and ^name3^.
I checked dropdown list and en_us.lang.php file and they look good. I don’t have any caret(^) sign around for name1 and name3 in the code. I don’t know, how it is getting added while storing to the database.
I believe that is just an internal representation to allow lists of values, for multi-select dropdowns (so you can store more than one value, e.g. ^name1^name4^).
It shouldn’t be a problem - the system puts it there when writing, and interprets it (removes carets) when reading back the information.
