Set a conditional value to a dropdown

Hi,

 

Greetings!

 

I have a dropdown which uses a collection.

The collection has "none" as the first value and values from Dynamics 365 Fin & Ops.

Let's assume that the values in the collection 'LegalEntityList' are {"none","a1a","abc","def","xyz"}.

 

These values could vary.

Maybe, in the first scenario if the values were {"none","mmm","def","xyz"} the dropdown would not be set to "abc" since this value is not present in the list.

The second time, the list could be {"none","abc","def","xyz"}, so the dropdown would be set to "abc" because "abc" is present in the list of values, and upon clicking the lookup button all the four values would be listed/ shown, and not just "abc". 

I want the value "abc" selected if it is present in the list ("abc" is hardcoded).

 

I tried numerous suggestions over the internet but nothing seems to work.

 

What should be the formula and where should I set it to achieve this?

 

With best regards,

Abhinay

    Set your DefaultSelectedItems property (assuming a combobox and not a dropdown because you mentioned "all four values would be listed") to the following:  {Value: "abc"}

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.

    Hi @RandyHayes,

     

    Thank you for your reply!

     

    It is unfortunately a dropdown box and not a combo box.

    Could this be achieved?

     

    With best regards,
