I have a dropdown2 in my form that is filled with the data obtained from a database with a read_data after a reload action activated by another dropdown1.This action is done correctly but I want the default value shown in the dropdown2 after the reload action to be a certain value.
​
I enter this value in the "selected values" field of dropdown2 but it is ignored after the reload action.
​
For example:
Dropdown values obtained from the database:
1 = Test 1
2 = Test 2
3 = Test 3
.....
​
Selected values:
2
​
Result:
Test 1
​
You always get the first value "Test 1" even if we try to change selected values by 1, 2, 3, ....
​
This behavior only occurs after a reload action.
​
Please, How can I indicate to the dropdown the value I want to show after the reload action?

I think the selected values only works on page load.

This is actually incorrect, @healyhatman. It is possible to reload the selected values on field reload. You just need to set the value as a variable in the reload event, and then in the Selected Values box on the field, use {var:your_var_name} to get the selected value.

At the time, 12 months ago, it was correct. Has been fixed since.
