Hello everyone… I’m trying to preselect a Dropdown value from the URL Get Parameter, but I don’t know why it won’t work. [image] I also tried with the condition… [image] Still, it won’t select anything… I tried with the Option Set as a type and also with Data Type as a type Anyone any idea ho…

@mikeloc Absolutely no. If you set the unique id, let’s say param=12345678x12345678 and set the Get data from url “type” to the DB “type” (like @fabian.banushi did in the first screenshot), this will return the specific item set in the url parameters @fabian.banushi just do like in your first scr…

what do you set in the url parameter? the “name” or the unique ID? (if this is a data type).

Hi there, @fabian.banushi … the issue is that the parameter in the URL is not a thing in your Location-City data type. So, in the Default value field, you likely need to do a search and get the first item from the Location-City data type where a field in that data type is equal to the value in the UR…

However, if you use unique ID… this is a thing and this can be used directly (and better to be used with the WU) instead of doing a search for

So for every thing I have to do search for?

So you need to use do a search. If you can replace it by the unique ID, you will avoid to use do a search

Oh, wait… is that true, @Jici ? I’m sure it is if you are saying it, but I thought even if the URL parameter is a unique ID, you still have to do a search for a thing with that ID. Huh, learn something new every day, eh? (I’m not sure why I didn’t know that already, though.)

How do you suggest with unique ID? How is the “expression”?

Yeah, it works with Unique ID… What about the other method? Do I have to do search for and then first item? How about when it is Multidropdown? Thanks

What about for performance? Which is more faster?
