@ashokpershad ,

The selection of the first item in a gallery is an automatic feature unless you specify another record in the Default property of the gallery. Do you want to select another record or select none?

Hi @ashokpershad ,

I must admit I have never been asked that one before - I did some testing with a non-existing record ID as the Default and it simply selected the first record (it selected another record successfully if it existed, but would not select nothing). It seems GalleryName.Selected cannot be an invalid reference (I can understand why this is so), so to answer your question, I do not believe it is possible.

Hi @ashokpershad ,

I suggest you modify the formula in the control that require gallery's output (gallery.selected.)

For example:

Add a combo box control and set its Onchange property to:

Set(A,1)

Add a gallery control and set its onselect property to:

Set(A,0)

Then If you want to use a label control to show gallery.selected... , you could set its Text property to:

If(A=1,Blank(),A=0, Gallery1.Selected.PostcodeStart)

Best Regards,

Wearsky

I know this is already answered but I found that on the "default" property of the gallery if you type {} it will not be selected by default
