DropDown default when on a Form Display Mode (Customised Form)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have a Drop Down - DropDown1 with 3 options. (Option 1, 2 and 3)

 

When I open an item I would like the default dropdown to be "Option 1", regardless if the form has been saved whilst the DropDown1 was displaying "Option 2" for instance.

 

How would I go about this?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    On your form, select your choice column DataCard and set the Default property to :

    {'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference", 
     Value:"Option 1"}

    You just have to replace Option 1 by your option.

    Instead of retriving the Item value (ThisItem.ChoiceColum) it will always select this option.
