DefaultSelectedItems not setting value

Posted on by DDM

Hello, I have an issue with setting the DefaultSelectedItems.

I am using an If function to determine whether the selected value contains the text _EMAIL

I get a true and then perform a lookup on the choice (dropdown) to set the desired DefaultSelectedItems Value E-mail or Mobile.

If(
 LookUp(
 Choices([@Requests].VPNGroup),
 "_EMAIL" in txtVPNGroup.Selected.Value,
 true
 ),
 LookUp(
 Choices([@Requests].VPN),
 Value = "E-mail"
 ),
 LookUp(
 Choices([@Requests].VPN),
 Value = "Mobile"
 )
)

Unfortunately it isn't setting anything....

Ideally what I would like to do is set E-mail if the selected value contains _EMAIL set Mobile if the selected value does not contain _EMAIL if the selected value is blank / empty then it should be parent.default.

What am i doing doing wrong ? Is there a better way of doing this ?

Any help appreciated.

THANKS

@DDM

What is the Items property of your combobox??

The DefaultSelectedItems property (DSI) must match the exact same record schema as the records of the Items property, or nothing will be matched.

Ahhhhh......

Right on the money..... It was

Choices([@Requests].VPNTokenType)

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Struggled for hours with it. I really don't know why i set it as VPN.

Final Solution for anyone who may face something similar:

If( LookUp( Choices([@Requests].VPNGroup), "_EMAIL" in txtVPNGroup.Selected.Value, true ), LookUp( Choices([@Requests].VPNTokenType), Value = "E-mail" ), If( !IsBlank(txtVPNGroup.Selected.Value), LookUp( Choices([@Requests].VPNTokenType), Value = "Mobile" ), Parent.Default ) )
