Is there a token for the key of a text list?

Question

I need to get the key of the key|value pair from a text list field in a token.

Say the field configuration shows the following options:

no|No Way Jose!
yes|Why yes, that'd do nicely!

and the field is named field_doc_textlist

the token [node:field_doc_textlist] is returning a value like 'No Way Jose!' when what I want is 'no'. Is there a way to get that from tokens. I'm using this in the filefield paths module if that matters.

I saw other similar answers here, with no real answers, but I've tried [node:field_doc_textlist:key] [node:field-doc-textlist] [node:field_doc_textlist:machine_name] [node:field_doc_textlist:machine-name] all to no avail

Some additional information: All of the above result in an error similar to

The File path is using the following invalid tokens: [node:field-doc-type-book].

A lot of the information I've found suggests using the hyphenated version of the token name instead of the underscore version, but that seems not to work at all.

Answer 1

You could use roborew's sandbox: Entity Token Display

This simple module was created to handle the formatting of entity tokens.

When using certain field entities the entity token module will provide formatting and data sanitisation for display. However, there are times when you need the default value of the original field.

Answer 2

Say you have field_textlist on node_mytype.

• Go to admin/structure/types/manage/node-mytype/display and in the custom display settings tab, enable the token display mode
• Go to admin/structure/types/manage/node-mytype/display/token, go to field_textlist and and set key as formatter
• Use [node:field_textlist] (underscores) provided by token module, not [node:field-textlist] (dash) provided by entity api module.
