Length of "Element" field name on sys_choice table System automatically truncates the extra characters of the element value if it's length is >40. If the Element name is : "u_elementNames_elementNames_elementNames_" , which is of length 41. When you create the choices for this, they will be saved with the element "u_elementNames_elementNames_elementNames" , by truncating the extra 1 character. So, the choices won't be available with the actual field : "u_elementNames_elementNames_elementNames_" on which we are expecting. **Make sure to use Element names with <40 charters length on choice table.
