Selecting a value in a drop-down list reverts to wrong value

Hello,

I have a table with drop-down lists in a column. The drop down list provides 3 values: Yes, No and N/A. When the user selects N/A and leaves the cell, the value changes to No.

Any thoughts on what's causing this and how to fix?

Thanks,

MDawn

You might have set the same value for both the choices in the dropdown. So that's why it is defaulting to the first one in the list with the same value..

Or

You might not have given values for the list items..In this case, since they both start with "N", it will highlight the first item that starts with "N"..

Set different values for each item in Binding tab and click on Specify Item Values.

Thanks

That's it. I did do that. I was misunderstanding how Values were used. Thanks.
