You can achive it through Controller Class

 

befor inserting the record just use this value which you have specified in to 

<apex:selectList value="{!countries}"



suppose rec is reocrd which you are inserting from your class

rec.priority = countries ;
insert rec.

Hey,

 

The easiest thing to do which wouldnt require much coding or any controller, would be to set up a trigger.

 

This means whenever an account is updated or created, the trigger will fire and you can update the field you want.

 

Trigger Info

 

trigger AccountChangedTrigger on Account (after insert, after update) {
    for (Account a : Trigger.new) {        
           a.priority__c = [selected field on the page]
        } 
}

 

Cheers,

Adam
