Default Value for lookup dropdown

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Zgolbarg 136

Hi,

 

I have a dropdown that filters data from an SP list based on condition

 

List name: client

column: title

I have this formula in the item property of dropdown:

 

ForAll(
Sort(Filter(Clients, Status.Value = "Active"), Title),
{Value: Title,
Id: ID
}
)

 

I want to set the default value of this dropdown to blank or a message but I don't want to enter a blank row in my list.

 

can you help me?

    Hi @Zgolbarg ,

    Set your AllowEmptySelection property of the Dropdown to true

     

    Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.
