I Want to set a Value for a drop down

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 19

My task is that when a button is clicked it gives a value to the drop down menu.

I don't want to give it a new value but one from the existing one.
Sharepoint is the database.

 

Thanks

Mark

    Hi @Kuszika54 ,

    The cause of this problem is:
    1. Your control is locked

    As @StretchFredrik  said, set the defaultselecteditem property

    Hi  v-chengfen-msft

    Thank you very much. How can I enter a drop box element in this field? Now : Parent.Default

    If I want him to choose this, for example, how do I give it to him?

    Hi @Kuszika54 ,

    Can you tell me if you have Choice column in your data source and contains these options.
    I assume this column name is status
    please try:
    Choices(Datesource.'status',"K")

    Here is test for your reference:

    Thanks for help. 

    I think it was not a very big challenge for you, but it is new for me. 

     

    Thanks, and have a good day.
