how do I get to the radiobox values after submitting the form

I need to get to the color names.

1=red

2=blue

3= green

I know this description is stored next to the field in $this in ["options"], but I don't know the path to it. Or there is another way to find this value?

Hi ernst,

The simplest way is to use the names as values e.g. red=red

Hi Ernst,

You can use a few lines of custom code on submit to look up the 'extra' info you need.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean.

I write my own php codes and own javascripts in the form, but I don't know how to use them to get to the required information

In PHP

$values = [1 => 'red', 2 => 'blue'];

return $values[$this->data('radio_group_input_name')] ?? null;

I understand clearly, but I wanted to avoid entering values in two places
I did it by giving

1 <span>red</span>

and I control the display and calculations by working with strings

in this example it's not so understandable, but imagine I have an event and its price:

bar <span> 5 eur </span>
action 1 <span> 7 eur </span>
action 4 <span> 6 eur </span>

and I need to know the price and the action.
This is enough to write it once, but when writing

5=bar
7=action 1 
6=action 4

I would have to change those values in the radiobox and in php

it would be user unfriendly
