Default entry in form, dropdown,

Posted on by cg777

Hi,

Absolute newbie here.

The situation is, once a hotel guest checks in, they are given a number of questions to answer to personalise their stay. I want the form to have default answers from one of the choices (either yes or no choice, or selecting an option from a dropdown). The booking table (booking is created separately, and therefore exists), has a separate column for each question. The guest's answers should populate this table.

I tried a few solutions but didn't quite work for me. Please help!

I didn't exactly understand your problem. But if setting the default value is the problem. Use Dropdown instead of combo box. By default the at least one answer will be selected in your dropdown when you submit the form.

Hi Zmansuri,

It currently is a drop down box in a form. What I want to achieve is to have one of the options be displayed/chosen as a default so that if the client submits the form, there will be default values in the table and none will be empty.

Hi @cg777 ,
Do you want the dropdown boxes in your form to have default values?
You can set values in the default properties of Datacard.
In my scenario, my data source is SP table, and all fields except "Title" are of Choice type.
Best Regards,
Dezhi

Hi Dezhi, thank you for your response.

I don't know if I am doing it incorrectly, but the formula does not seem to want to work for me.

using: If(Form14.Mode=1, {Value:"Yes"}, ThisItem.Q1) as a base,
I edited it to:
If(FrmPersonalise.Mode=1, {Value:"No"}, ThisItem.'Complementary coffee?');
but it does not seem to want to work. Please see attached.

Hi @cg777 ,
Could you please show me the error message?
What type is the "Complementary coffee?" field in your data source?
You can try just writing "{Value:"Yes"}" on the default property of Date Card

Hi Dezhi,

While using "{Value:"Yes"}" makes the value show up, it does not save to the dataverse, if i send the form as is (if the choices are altered, then they are saved, but with {value:yes} is does not save .

Datatype is yes no choice.

unfortunately i no longer have the error as i was playing around with it.
