Retain selected values in a dropdown

Afternoon,

I have two dropdowns on my screen, which filter a gallery on screen, by status and workplan.

Within the gallery I have links to other screens.

I would like to retain the users selections in the dropdown boxes when the user navigates off the screen then back.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thank you

yes, with the OnChange property of the dropdown add Set(var_Selected, Self.Selected),

the change the default to var_Selected.

for dropdown2 use Set(var_Selected2, Self.Selected), Default = var_Selected2

Hi, thanks for your reply.

When I out var_selected in the Default it says there is an error in the formula with the Data Type: Record.

I am not allowing multiple sections.

In my items for the dropdown my code is collectProductTitle

The onvisible code for the screen itself is

ClearCollect(collectProductTitle, {Value: "All"});
Collect(collectProductTitle, Choices([@JSConsolidationProductTitle].HLStatus));
ClearCollect(collectWorkPlanChoice, {Value: "All"});
Collect(collectWorkPlanChoice, Choices([@JSConsolidationProductTitle].PT_WorkPlanChoice))

Thanks

@JimboSey
The error is because you are setting a record/row of the collectProductTitle collection.

Simply add .Value at the end of the formula. You will see it working.

Do you mean like this...

(var_Selected, Self.Selected.Value)

If so I added this and the error message went but still reverts back to "All" when I navigate away and back.

I need it to retain the dropdown value I selected.

Hi @JimboSey ,

You could add the " Reset("Dropdownname") " formula to the screen's onvisible property.

Best Regards,
