In researching this, I noticed that many different relating functions use the filter 'list_cats' on many different attributes, which seems misguided, because how do you differentiate between the attributes? Shouldn't each one have it's own filter?

  • Component changed from Taxonomy to Posts, Post Types
  • Focuses template added
  • Milestone changed from Future Release to 4.2

The wp_dropdown_categories() part of this was duplicated in #30306 and resolved in [31006].

Let's extend the same syntax here, using the 'value_field' parameter name.

In 31338:

Introduce 'value_field' parameter to wp_dropdown_pages().

This parameter allows developers to choose the post field that will be used to
fill in the 'option' attribute of the generated dropdown markup.

See [31006] #30306 for a parallel enhancement in wp_dropdown_categories().

Props jfarthing84.
Fixes #12494.
