Name	Purpose
`FieldIndex`	The zero-based index of the target form field
`OptionIndex`	The zero-based option index within the field's options list
`ADisplayValue`	Output parameter, receives the text displayed to the user for this option on the interface
`ADisplayText`	Input supplied to GetLoadedFormFieldOption

Returns the export value of this option, which is the actual string passed to the server or FDF when the form is submitted

Only applies to field types with an option list (a ComboBox or ListBox, for example); calling it on a plain text field returns an empty string
OptionIndex must lie between 0 and GetLoadedFormFieldOptionCount - 1
Export values and display text can differ; please distinguish between their uses before submission to avoid mistaking display text for submitted content
