In ConcatProvider, “Use Listbox content” controls what gets inserted into your concatenation result when the placeholder points to a list-type field (list box / dropdown / radio / multi-select).

What the option actually does

The provider has this internal switch:

• Value (default) → use the stored option value (often an ID/system value like XL, 123, red)

• Name → resolve the selected option(s) to their localized display name (like “Extra Large”, “Red”)

So for a list field with options:

• Value: XL → Name: Extra Large

Then:

• Use Listbox content = Value → concatenation inserts XL

• Use Listbox content = Name → concatenation inserts Extra Large (in the product’s language)

Extra nuance your implementation adds

• For multi-select / checkbox list, split the stored value by comma and convert each selected value to its name, then re-join with commas.

• For dropdown / radio, convert the first matching selection and then break; (only one selection makes sense there anyway).

• If parsing the setting fails, fall back to Value (safe default).

Practical rule of thumb

• Pick Value if the output is meant for systems (feeds, integration keys, stable identifiers).

• Pick Name if the output is meant for humans (UI text, descriptions, SEO-ish strings, emails, labels) — and you want it localized.
