Dropdown not showing placeholder

Hi! I’m trying to fix the options list and text placeholder that is not showing:
image

The “Option caption” is selected and is a element of text (“Current option’s Display”):

Some crazy is that in another block inside the same RepeatingGroup it’s working:
image
The difference between them is that on that specific block there’s no already registered answer.

So, the user isn’t been able to send the answer. Someone can help me on that matter?
Thank you so much!

You will need to set the default value to the value you want to be auto-selected on load

Hi @josh24 ! Thank you!

There’s already a default value as a placeholder here:

It is a search into existing data and returns a text, as needed.

Was working just fine a few days ago and there’s no change at all.
Some glue?

Best!

I haven’t quite figured out under what scenarios, but typically where I have a dropdown with say 4-5 options I will always set the default value to the option I want to be selected when the page loads.

I’m not sure why, but placeholder just doesn’t seem to work all the time. Literally copy what you have put in placeholder and add it into the default value. I think it will solve it for you

Hi @josh24 ! Thank you!

I tried here, but I’ve got an error using the exact same parameters:
“… Default value should be Impact_op but right now it is a text.”

I put a valid default value to tried (below), but the outcome was the same.

My main doubt now is that the other dropdown at same RepeatingGroup is fine.
The only difference is that there’s no previous data sent on that.

There’s any major change on the Bubble environment who eventually did this? I didn’t change anything in my app recently.

Hi! To close here, the old setup was great and some bug at Bubble and/or Reveal plugin made it. Now is working fine:

The good output of it: I build a new, and better interface without any Dropdown to solve it.
