Hi,

 

I have a field I auto update using a variable. Lets call this variable "statusupdate". I can set the Default of a single line text field to variable statusupdate just fine.

 

But now I have a choice field. 

I want to default the choice field to "statusupdate" but also have choices in the dropdown.

 

How can I do this?

    Hi @wonka1234,

     

    Are you using SharePoint as a datasource and is the variable value a valid option in your choice field?

     

    You could try the following in the DefaultSelectedItems property:

    {Value: statusupdate}

     

    If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution & give it a thumbs up.

    Thanks!
