I’m having trouble with the syntax for this one. I need the simplest possible way to tell the dropdown that its default (Static choices) value, the one that appears when the page is refreshed, should be the last thing the user has selected.
There must be a really simple solution, but I’ve been stuck with this for a while.
Any ideas?
Do the following:
In your workflow, when the input of this dropdown has changed, go to the current page you’re on and pass a parameter. The value would be the new value of the input. You can make the name of the parameter anything accept id.
Now go to your dropdown and in the default value, make it the value of that parameter.
Hope this solves your problem,
Daniel
Hello, thank you for the rapid response.
I made this change to the default value for my drop-down:
From here, how do I pass a parameter through Workflow:
How do I get to the “Send more parameters” option?
I currently have this set up on the drop-down:
I currently have this setup in workflow:
It’s in your screenshot haha. You’ve already checked the Send more parameters to the page. Now click the Add another parameterYou’re on the right track.
And from the looks of your screenshot, you need to fill the “Data to send” value with the current page’s blank (whatever the data is for your page).
Excellent, I tested the setting and it does save the last input but it resets every other dropdown. Currently I have 12 different dropdown with the same information for different purpose but after changing two of them the other one resets. Any ideas?
Also, how do I allow the new value to be seen by everyone who logs in.
Currently if I am logged in on two separate devices, I am not able to see the changes I made on anther device.
Well here’s the thing, the best way to do this is to create whatever it is that you’re saving your data from. Then when you change the values of your inputs, they will save in the database. I assumed you didn’t want to go down that path so I offered the parameter solution.
From what it seems, you should save the values in your database and the default value for each input should be the saved value.
Okay, so I created a data type called Locations and then added the desired data within the fields.
How do I go about have the drop-down pulling this information.
This table doesn’t look set up correctly, but regardless, you just make them the data type for your inputs.
How would I go about doing this properly?
What are you suggestions?
I don’t know man. When a user is done filling out all of the inputs, what happens next?
I will explain what I am trying to do and you can give me your feedback on how to best accomplish the end results.
I am trying to have all my Users able to log in, click on the drop-down option and choose which location they are at.
I also want the other Users to be able to see where they are. My original issue was the drop-down would default back to the original settings. After you informed me of how to setup the default to pull the old information which worked but there was an issue where after change more than 2 out of the 13 options. It would reset the other ones to the default.
Why do your users need 13 different dropdowns? And are they logged in BEFORE they are entering this info?
There are currently 13 user’s who will be using the drop-down options that are located under their names.
