Set Default Values in PowerApps New Form on CDS related Fields

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi, I have observed that while creating CDS Entity fields like Options set etc.. we can set default values to these fields, and they are effective in model driven Apps

 

but when it comes to Canvas Apps the default value is not set in the form control when creating new records.

 

can some one help me if this is achievable ?

 

ex: I want to create a Product type as a Option set with Options "Fruits, Vegs, Other", My default value will be Other.

when I create Power Apps Canvas form and open new , Product type is empty, user need to to click drop down and select one of the option.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @vikunth777 

     

    You can do this by setting the Default property of the field in the Canvas app.  Below  is an example for the Account entity and defaulting the Address Type option set.
