Received from a UK customer just now via email.

When selecting a cost centre against a job, it only shows the codes, it would be a lot more user friendly if the dropdown showed both the code and the description attached to it. This might be of interest for the population of any other dropdown boxes on the system which are just displaying a code as opposed to the textual description of what the code means.

A good idea here.  Perhaps we could implement this as a tool-tip, or maybe another column in the drop-down box, although this could make the interface a little cluttered looking.  We'll see what we can do. 

Anyone else got a preference / suggestion on this one?
