Tell us what you are trying to do?

My "Select" type field returns the value rather then the label/text:

$key = 'wpcf-type';
$single = true;
$user_type = get_user_meta( $user_id, $key, $single );

return $user_type;
}

Is it possible to return the label?

In addition how could I evaluate the select field based on the text not values e.g.

if ( type = Male ) { } ifelse (type = Female) {} else { ""}

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - to access the user meta field - Types offers PHP API function:

For example:

$user_type  = types_render_usermeta( "type", array('user_id'=>$user_id));

If($user_type == 'Male'){
  // add something
} else If($user_type == 'Female'){
  // add something
}
