I have two fields whose type is List (text). In the allowed values list, i want to join them. I used the following code.

$value = $entity->field_a->value . $entity->field_b->value;
$value = $fields['field_a'][0]['value'] . $fields['field_b'][0]['value'];

I can get the result fine, but the value returns the keys only. How can I get the labels?

To get the allowed values set in your field settings you need to call as follows

$entity->field_my_field->getSetting('allowed_values')[$entity->field_my_field->value];

your code should look like this

$value = $entity->field_a->getSetting('allowed_values')[$entity->field_a->value] . $entity->field_b->getSetting('allowed_values')[$entity->field_b->value];

Although the question is not very clear to me, but I guess the following could help you,

$key1 = $entity->field_a->value;
$key2 = $entity->field_b->value;
$value1= $fields['field_a']["#options"][$key1];
$value2= $fields['field_b']["#options"][$key2];
$value = $value1 . $value2;

This returns an empty value.

@Al-JasimMohammed, as I mentioned in the solutions the first parameter is key, then it means "UK" is a key. you need to get the label. how can it be possible, you should get it from the form element. tell me where do you want to do this? on form submit? the solution is valid, but you need to just adjust the place you want to get it. if it's form and form submit, then we need to get it from `$from` instead of `$fields`. please give more details

I want to get it in a computed list text field, that I added from (admin/structure/types/manage/article/fields) Then I want to display it in a node page

@Al-JasimMohammed you don't do it only in node view template without engaging the couptation? is there any special reason for that? Also you can do it in the node submit.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
