Do you have an example of how to filter and assign a value? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/default-value-on-dynamically-populated-dropdown#post-55828 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:31:15 +0000 David Peralty 55828@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Unfortunately, the only way I know of to do what you want is through the use of filters. Either by making a non-choice default to what you want, or by filtering before displaying so that it is the default. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/default-value-on-dynamically-populated-dropdown#post-55822 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:12:13 +0000 EyesX 55822@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've got a form with a bunch of dropdowns (10 of them) which I dynamically populate by taxonomies. </p> <p>The problem I got is that there seems to be no way to actually choose one of the taxonomy terms with it's value as selected by default. If I try to do this and saves the form, instead of the actual term being selected a duplicated choice with no value is created. (Doing this at the admin page for GF).</p> <p>How do I get around this? Do I have to do this by filters (not to fun with that many fields)? </p>
