Default Choice Column in Canvas App with Dataverse Table

Posted on by Kristi Christopherson

I'm using a Dataverse table with a column which I selected the Default value as Waiting Assessment:

I'm wanting the default value to show in the Canvas App I've created using one of the template forms, but I'm obviously missing something because it's not automatically setting the Waiting Assessment as the default:

Any resource recommendations or assistance with what I'm missing would be appreciated. I'm used to using SharePoint as a backend so Dataverse is a new beast to me :) Thanks!

Hi

On the basis that the Priority to Assess control is a combobox, you would set the DefaultSelectedItems property to this:

{Value:'YourTableName (PriorityToAssess)'.WaitingAssessment}

If you're using the same form to enter new records and to modify existing records, you would use a variation of this to default the value only when creating a new record.

If( IsBlank(ThisItem.ID), 'YourTableName (PriorityToAssess)'.WaitingAssessment, ThisItem.PriorityToAssess )
