Auto populating and locking a dropdown

Hello,

I'm trying to build a survey in Power apps. This is my first app and I could really use some help please.

I have created the app and linked to a SharePoint list as the data source.

Within the survey I ask user to choose from a dropdown list of risks. The 2nd dropdown is a rating (1-3).

My problem is that I want the rating to be pre-populated by me, and I want it to be locked so that the user cannot edit it.

Please see my screen shot below. I will have three screens similar to this for Risks # 1-3.

Is it possible?

Thank you,

Elaine

@WarrenBelz - That solved it!

I set DisplayMode to DisplayMode.Disabled, that seemed to work best for my needs.

Thanks for your help :)

Hi @ET-04121333-0

If you simply want 1 in the Rating, then if a Combo Box, the DefaultSelectedItems would be
{Value: "1"}

or if a Dropdown the Default would be "1".

You would also set the DisplayMode to DisplayMode.View

Update: I found the Default property and wrote the following Syntax

Choices([@'Risk Assessment risk repository'].'Rating'), Value = "1")
