Need a little more detail to help on this but should be a simple if statement on the default of your drop down.

What allows you to select the 0,1,2? Radio button, drop down?

Hi @SumanKoduri ,

Do you want to display text in drop down based on the value of this field?

Could you tell me

1)what your data source is?

2)what data type of this field?

1)If it is number type, try this solution:

Step1: unlock this field in the form, delete the textinput in this data card, insert a drop down in the data card

Step2: set the drop down's Items:

["","Reg","Front"]

set the drop down's Default:

If(ThisItem.fieldname=0,"",ThisItem.fieldname=1,"Reg",ThisItem.fieldname=2,"Front")

set the datacard's Update:

If(drop down1.Selected.Value="",0, drop down1.Selected.Value="Reg",1, drop down1.Selected.Value="Front",2)

//please replace with the fieldname and drop down name

Then the drop down will display text based on this field value and update number based on the selected text value.

2)If it is number type in sharepoint list, try this solution:

Step1: unlock this field in the form, delete the textinput in this data card, insert a drop down in the data card

Step2: set the drop down's Items:

["","Reg","Front"]

set the drop down's Default:

If(ThisItem.fieldname.Value=0,"",ThisItem.fieldname.Value=1,"Reg",ThisItem.fieldname.Value=2,"Front")

set the datacard's Update:

If(drop down1.Selected.Value="",{Value:0}, drop down1.Selected.Value="Reg",{Value:1}, drop down1.Selected.Value="Front",{Value:2})

//please replace with the fieldname and drop down name

Then the drop down will display text based on this field value and update number based on the selected text value.

Best regards,
