Hello @Dronzer10,

You could add a formula to the save button that triggers before submission. This formula could save the current dropdown value to a variable:
Set(varValueFromDropdown,Dropdown1.Selected.Value); SubmitForm(Form1)
You can then retrieve the variable and show it in a text field, for example.

Hello,

Dropdown1.selected.value will give the current dropdown value. But what my requirement is what was the dropdown value before the the user changes and submit the form.
Many Thanks,

Hello @Dronzer10,

If you save the value of the dropdown in your form before you submit the form (e.g. using the formula above) to a variable, you can retrieve the earlier dropdown value through the variable.
For example, enter the variable name as the Text property of a label control:
