For this example, you will create two Transactions: Country and Hostel. These Transactions are related 1 to N: a Hostel belongs to one Country and a Country has many Hostels.
You will have to apply the Work With pattern and Work With object (WWSD) to Hostel Transaction (for further information, see Applying Work With Pattern).
To set Dynamic Combo Box to CountryId you must set the Control Type property for the WW.
You will set the properties like the image shows:
Item Value: CountryId
Item Descriptions: CountryName
You want to see the names of the countries, but the value that you need to store is CountryId. Finally, create a Menu object and add the item "WorkWithDevicesHostel"
Done! You have your application ready to deploy on the device.
