Hi,

Let's assume few things first:
You have a form named: Form1
Drop Down control: DropDown1

Select the data card value of DropDown1 and set it's Default property to:

If(Form1.Mode=FormMode.New, {Value: "YourDefaultValueHere"},Parent.Default)

Hi @Double_v,

Could you please share a bit more about the scenario:

how you set the Items of the dropdownbox ?(IMPORTANT)

what is the column type of the column corresponding to the dropdownbox from your data source where you want to submit data to?

is this dropdownbox a Combo Box or a Dropdown?

Do you want this dropdownbox to keep the static value always?

If you want this dropdownbox to keep a static value always, how you set the default value depends on how you set the Items property of the dropdownbox .

I have a similar test for you, please check as below.

In my scenario, I have a Choice column to store the Dropdown selected and I populate the Dropdown with a Text column from the linked list.

I just assume that you want keep the Combo Box display a static value always

I set the Combo Box Items as below:

Filter(LinkList,TextColumn="Value").TextColumn

Combo Box DefaultSelectedItems property:

LookUp(LinkList,TextColumn="Value")

Set the Update property of the data card:

DataCardValue4.Selected

Note that DataCardValue4 represents the Combo Box

Check if it could help you.

Regards,

Qi

Hi @v-qiaqi-msft

I solved it with the help of my colleague and we came with this solution:
Patch('Inkomende Tickets',{Title:'Txt DCV Titel'.Text,
'Omschrijving probleem':'Txt DCV Omschrijving Probleem Melden'.Text,
Email:User().Email,
Urgentie: {'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference", Value:'Txt DCV Urgentie'.Selected.Value },
Status:{'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
Id:1, Value:"Nieuw"},
'Type probleem':{'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
Id:'Txt DCV Type Probleem Melden'.Selected.Id, Value:'Txt DCV Type Probleem Melden'.Selected.Value}});
