Default Dropdownlist Selection

[rajan_chidambar]

This is in Adaptive Forms. I am populating a dropdownlist with values. I would like a default value to appear as selected. How can I achieve this? TIA

If Its a static list of items, you can set the default value on the component itself by entering a value into the Default Value field

e.g. to set "Item 2" as the default:

or using the Rules Editor:

If its a dynamic list, you can set the value property [2] once the list is initialized [3]
