Aha, this is a simple answer! ad_form will use either

1) The values of a variable with the same name as the form element in the scope the ad_form is called

OR

2) You can explicitly set the values in on_request block of ad_form by setting a variable with the same name as the form element.

Yes, i understand.

1. if you look at API picklist, it brings 4 values to the scope to fill the select widget of ad_form.
[workflow::role::get_picklist -role_id $role_id]

But in the first view (display mode), the field is not a select widget. It's a simple text field that shows the correct value among the 4 values. This is the behavior i don't get. How the correct values is set among 4

Only if you hit "edit form" then the select button shows up and the 4 values become available to be chosen

2. ad_form "bug" on bug.tcl has no on_request block.
