Hello Power apps users,

I have a choice column in power apps. The choice column I used here is NOT a recommended one. Choices are : Received, Sent,Return.
I have 2 buttons.
Button1 OnSelect: Set(VarChoice, “Done”)

Button2 OnSelect: Set(VarChoice, “Back”)

I would like to set the default value of the drop down value as Received if VarChoice value is Done and Return if VarChoice value is Back.

I think using recommended choice column would solve my issue, but cannot change column type with creating new one.

can anyone please help! Thank you so much in advance!

Hi @KrishR

Try this in the Default property of the drop down.

Switch(VarChoice, "Done", "Received", "Back", "Returned" )

Please tick Accept as solution if the answer is useful.

Thanks,

Hi @AARON_C ,

Thanks for the quick response. I tried the above code on default property of the dropdown. Error message says “Expected record value”.

What is the Items property of your dropdown?

Or try:

Switch(VarChoice, "Done", {Value: "Received"}, "Back", {Value: "Returned"} )

Please tick Accept as solution if the answer is useful.

Thanks,

Is this what your column in your Dataverse table looks like?

@KrishR

Could you please share a photo of your Defaults property of your drop down. This should have worked the first time.
