Dropdown box: Why are auto-binding & default value mutually exclusive?

[jayy]

I need auto-bind and also want to set a default value.

Why is this not possible? Am i missing something?

Same behavior for both dropdown box and searchbox.

Hi!

When you choose the “auto-binding” option, the default value will be always the value stored in your database. With this method, you link, in real time, the input field with your database. So it is impossible to have a default value in you input once the default value will be always the value stored in your database.

What you can do is to assign a default value for this datatype… So when you create a new line in your database, you will have the desired behavior in you dropdown…
