Display a default value in a Choices type field in the PowerApps form

Posted on by Customer self servi... 5

Good morning,

I created an application to manage non-conformities on a production site, an application based on a Sharepoint list.

 

From the home page of the app I gave the possibility to create 2 different types of NC: a supplier one and an internal one (with 2 different forms behind).

 

I would like the default value for the dropdown field "Type of NC" available in both forms (which in the Sharepoint list offers 3 possibilities) to be filled in automatically by "supplier" or by "internal" depending on the entry chosen in the home page.

Is this possible, please? Have you ever pushed an identical behavior into an app?

Everyhting I tried with the DefaultSelectedItems worked wrong.

    Hi @Charlotte_Lyon ,

     

    Do you want the combo box in the second form to display the selected item of the combo box in the first form by default?

    The DefaultSelectedItems property of the second combo box should be: combobox1.SelectedItems

     

     

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Habsburg Qian

    Hello @v-zhoqian-msft , 

     

    I had found the solution in another post, but yours did answer my need to. I used the following formula "{Value:"Fournisseur"}" or {Value:"Interne"} in the DefaultSelectedItems field of my edit forms and it worked just fine.

     

    Thank you for your reply.
