Get value in a variable from selectOptions
Hello team,
How could I catch the value {!items} selected and capture it in a variable? I need a simple line of code.
This is my VF page
Here is the methods in controller
I need to catch the value from selectList in a variable to make validations in a new method.
Thanks in advance.

Value attribute is used for binding the selected value as per my understading. You can define it as Id or String, in your code you have defined it as list. Also you are binding two picklists to same value, i dont think that would work.
