Drop Down List Selected Index

I have populated my drop down list from a coded value domain. I am trying to set the default value to the 4th item in the list. No matter what number I enter, the list never defaults to anything. Is there something I'm missing to set this default value?

 

Thank you!

  Hi Belinda,

  How are you trying to set default?

   

  I just did a quick test using Amanda's tip:

  https://communities.geocortex.com/workflow/s/question/0D5f200004qIXTCCA4/how-to-populate-a-drop-down-list-with-values-from-a-coded-value-domain

   

  "Open the designer, and go to File > New. From the list there, open

  Samples - Get Coded Value Domain"

   

  Then added "Set Current Form Element Item" to the dropdown list sub workflow

  Thanks Stefan for that tip, https://communities.geocortex.com/workflow/s/question/0D5f2000055Jc1GCAS/set-dropdown-list-value-dynamically

   

  See image for what I ended up with, and it worked.

   

  I think in your case you could use

  Matchtype = index, Value = 3 to get the 4th item.

  or try these:

  Matchtype = label, Value = the coded domain text

   

  Matchtype = value, Value = the coded domain id

  Thanks Mark - that did the trick! I was trying to set it using the selected index option on the form and not in the sub-workflow.
