How to set up default value in dropdownlist which is out of Form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I have a DropDown list which in Items is linked to an SP list, and I have a Choice column there with selected items. Is it possible to use the Icon and click on it to set a Default value in DropDown, e.g. "Please select"? I tried that, but it doesn't work:

Default on dropdown

varDefualtType

OnSelect on Icon

Set(varDefualtType,"Please select");

    Hello @Palucci12 

     

    Did you mean to have a Place text holder to inform users to select something like this?

    The above can be set with ComboBox. Would you be open to changing your control to a ComboBox instead of a dropbox?
