We have an app that registers what bus a student is riding. Often the same bus is ridden all week but not always. I have a dropdown per day (4 actually, morning and afternoon with route and stop). I wanted to give the user doing data entry the option to click and copy Monday to the other 4 days a week. The only way maybe to do this I can think of is to have the default relate to a checkbox and change to equal monday value when checked. Is that the only / best way?

Hi @BrianHFASPS ,
Do you want to copy monday's data to other 4 days by clicking a button?
This is feasible.
But it's not supported to change the drop down's default directly by clicking a button.
I suggest you save the selection of monday as a collection.
Could you tell me the drop down's field's data type?
I've made a similar test for your reference:
(use 2 drop downs as example, one is text, one is choice)
(drop down1 and drop down2 belong to monday, drop down3 and drop down4 belong to tuesday)
Set the button's OnSelect:
ClearCollect(mon,{monrning:Dropdown1.Selected.Title,afternoon:Dropdown2.Selected.Result})
Set the drop down3's Default:
Concat(mon,morning&"")
Set the drop down4's Default:
Concat(mon,afternoon&"")
Then, you could copy monday's data to tuesday by clicking the button.

Thanks for the suggestion. The best solution I could find was to use a checkbox as control for user. The Tuesday - Friday dropdowns have their default set as an If statement that if the checkbox is true sets to Monday value and if not to None.
