Default Dropdown based on value within a single text field

Hi All, 
 
Whilst I know various ways to set a dropdowns value based on a certain condition one method that I'm trying to do I cannot get to work. 
 
I have a Customized Form through Power Apps which has two SP Connections, the aim of the App is to allow the user to complete an Early Warning Trigger without having to go into another SP List to fill in. I have built many of these multi-interactive power apps but would like to reduce the amount of manual entry where possible by setting some additional default values. 
 
What I'm trying to do is set the dropdowns default (Form2) value based on a Single Text field (Form1), the value within Single Text field (Form1) would be available in the dropdown. 
 
For example, when the user goes into the Power App, the user would be displayed with the Project ID reference (Overview tab) which is set when the project was approved. The user would then go onto the next tab (Early Warning tab) which has an Edit Form for another SP connector.  Within that Edit Form is a Project ID dropdown where I'd like the default value to be the Project ID displayed on the first tab. 
 
Attached are some photos to give you an idea of what I'm trying to do. 
 
Many thanks

    One way to display the selected ID from the Overview Tab form in Early Warning form is by updating the DefaultSelectedItems property of your Dropdown to the following - 
    [SingleTextfield.Value]
    Given your dropdown and single text field are displaying values from same Column. 
     
    Hope this helps. 
     
    Kind regards,

    Hi Nandit
     
    Whilst this works on the face of it, I've just done some testing and the [SingleTextField.Text] (no value option available) does not save back to the SP list.
