I have a select tag in my form

    <select name="source" id="source">
        {% for row in inode.inodes %}
            <option value="{{loop.index}}">{{ row.inode.title }}</option>

While the values are used to order the options, what interests me is the text in the option.

however, in the python code,

source = request.form['source']

Is preferring the value. How can I retrieve the text inside the tag instead?

There can be multiple solutions to this.Try to implement one of these can see if it works

  1. You can keep value and text same
  2. Fetch value via jquery/js in frontend and then post it in variable to access them in flask
  3. Set data-attribute for options and send them to flask. See here
