Optionally change other dropdowns based on one?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 704

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?

    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.

    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.
