Hi @Anonymous

There is a pretty good thread about the Default property of galleries: Gallery-set-default-selection-to-first-item as well as some suggestions regarding how to work with this property.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you want to set a gallery's default selected item?

You need to set the gallery's Default to one record belongs the gallery's Items table.

Could you tell me

1)the formula in your gallery's Items property?

2)"Cap" is which field in the Items table? the field's data type?

I've made a similar test for your reference:

1)set the gallery's Items:

["Cap","Pop"]

//It is actually a table with a column named Value.

2)set the gallery's Default:

{Value:"Cap"}

This represents the record with value "Cap".

Then your gallery's default selected item will be the one with Cap value.

Here's a doc about Gallery control, please notice the define of Default property:
