Auto select gallery item while still able to switch items

Hello guys,

I'm trying to autoselect the first item in a gallery when a user lands on the screen. The gallery consists of dates of a specific training and is derived from a sharepoint list. I'm using the formula First(Self.AllItems) on Default property now. However, this doesn't allow users to select other items than the first one. Does anyone know how I can auto select the first gallery item while it's still possible for users to select another one?

Would really appreciate it, thank you.

Hi @Anonymous ,
I'm not sure why you can't select other items, so there may be something else preventing you - however when using a Default: record for a gallery to 'auto select' when it is reset, the best thing to do is ensure you're selecting a record from the exact same data set that is being configured in the Items: property of the Gallery.
So, if your source is "mySource" and your Items: property is
mySource or Filter(mySource, condition)
then your Default: would be
First(mySource) or First(Filter(mySource, condition))
respectively - so I would first change from "First(Self.AllItems)" to whatever fits above and see if you still get the same behaviour before troubleshooting further.
Kind regards,
RT

Hi @RusselThomas !

Thank you so much for your quick and effective solution! Your second option with the condition involved worked for me. Your explanation helps me to do it myself the next time!😀

Have a nice day and thanks again

@RusselThomas Interestingly, the second approach also worked for me, when using First(x), where x is the exact expression that I use in the galleries items property. However, I would expect First(Self.AllItems) to also work, since x and Self.AllItems shoud be the same, but it is not working and the first item is being selected again, even when I select another item. Do you have an explanation for this?
