Modern control drop down is finicky

Hi. I'm successfully added a modern control drop-down that correctly grabs the "options" I want to choose from. But the default value it shows in a table of rows is not the actual underlying value in SQL server, but blank. I've tried setting DefaultSelectedItems = ThisItem.TheFieldInQuestion or {Value:ThisItem.TheFieldInQuestion}. Still nothing. Except for one random time, that did seem to work??? Please help!? Thanks!

HI @CedarTree72,

What is the column type of this TheFieldInQuestion in your SQL table?

You need to access to the column value within the table data of TheFieldInQuestion column.

It 's a text field in both the dropdown options table in SQL server (listTable) and the underlying table that stores the data in SQL server (tblTable), i.e., nvarchar(100). @v-qiaqi-msft

Edit: And I sometimes see "INJECTO" in the dropdown field???

This error gave me a run for my money but I finally nailed it based on answer from @v-qiaqi@microsoft.com

And now it makes a lot of sense when you think about it. By the way, the solution below for Dataverse table.
For SharePoint List the DefaultSelectedItems = ThisItem.Status

1. So you first set the items property to the Choice field.

Items =
Choices([@ISSDE_Taskss].cr23f_status)

2. Then go to the Display of the Property and add the "Value" field.

3.Finally, in the DefaultSelectedItems, set it to this.

DefaultSelectedItems=
{Value:ThisItem.'Status (cr23f_status)'}
