As can be seen in the above image, I want the user to select EntityType from the dropdown. And the user selects RNC_Utrancell. But this is the short name for user convenience. I want to use the full name which is present in DB as shown in below image.

index.php/fa/24958/0/

The above image shows mapping between the short name and full name. I have taken it in output column of a dataset which is getting data from DB.

Finally, when I use in the code as shown in below image, I should get entityType = params["entityType"].value; //here the variable entityType should give me full name i.e
ericsson_rnc_1_nedn_subnetwork1_nedn_subnetwork2_nedn_mecontext_man... as can be seen in the mapping of short name and full name
