Is there a way to show a value from the list of values available for a dropdown as a default value for it (dropdown)
Is there a way to show a value from a list of values(excluding the first value in the list) available for a dropdown as a default value for it (dropdown).
Lets say a dropdown is going to have a list of values a, b and c, Is there a way to show b as the default value for the dropdown rather than the first value in the list (a)

Hi,
we can use OOTB functions pxGetPropertyValue, getPropertyValue to show a default value if your source is Datapage/Clipboard page/Report Definition.
If you are using any one of the above sources and if you know the value/index of pagelist upfront before rendering the section where this dropdown is referenced, you can acheive it by using OOTB functions.
This might be a good starting point to work on to acheive your requirement. Although you may need to refer other funtions inside the pxGetPropertyValue/getPropertyValue functions to acheive your requirement.
let me know, if you need any help regarding this approach (or) if you figured a better approach (I can also learn).
Regards,
Naveen.

Hi Naveen,
Like mentioned below(in bold) the pxResults embedded pages are going to have a property which is going to be shown in the list for the dropdown and the property from the 3rd pxResluts page should be displayed as the default value for the same dropdown.
Values for the dropdown: DataPage.pxResults().property
Default value: DataPage.pxResults(3).property
I see that getPropertyValue() requires two parameters 1. instance page 2. Propertypath
now what should give for instance page and property path, i tried few combinations but nothing worked.
Accepted Solution

I found it !!!
we have use getPageValue() function to convert the embedded page (DataPage.pxResults(3)) to Clipboardproperty format (Java Type)and then give it as the parameter for the getPropertyValue() function along with the property that is required.
@(Pega-ProCom:RuleManagement).getPropertyValue(@(Pega-RULES:Property).getPageValue(DataPage.pxResults(3)), property)

Hi Dilipan,
In the dropdown control properties, you can specify the default value to be displayed.
Ex: I have created a property which has values a,b and c.
In the dropdown control, you can specify the default value and that will be displayed at runtime.
I hope this resolves your question.
Thank you.

Hi Evita,
I cannot mention the value directly in the default value box coz I am loading the data from a data page whose values are going to change from time to time.
Like menitioned below the pxResults embedded pages are going to have a property which is going to be shown in the list for the dropdown and the property from the 3rd pxResluts page should be displayed as the default value for the same dropdown.
Values for the dropdown: DataPage.pxResults().property
Default value: DataPage.pxResults(3).property

Hi Krishna,
I see that you've also created a new post for the same query: Default Dropdown Value changes on Refresh of Screen
Great practice!
