Good Day, i would like to populate a default value of my dynamic dropdown based on the database that i entered. i have a page that has a results ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/b/b7a71148d599050430dad22df9abf1f13400869a.png) **and i want that results to be editable so what i did is** i created a pencil icon so when clicked it will show a popup form that contains the results in a editable form ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/2/2b46b23a8a1073e6aa6665dccc782f233eb87d78.png) i set the **Location** dropdown choices to dynamic which will get data from the Location data that i created. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/1/10ecf6b7f70dde183914bd509544f412e611de48.png) I was able to achieve that. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/0/0e7a1968628808efbf3fe83bafcf8574c57c33a9.png) now what i want is to make the Default value be the same as the Results like what you see on the 1rst image. the form default value should be like this ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/c/c182a240324fa14005f598f51363303487c13fad.png) so if i will change the default value and click SAVE button it will update the Results hope you guys got what i’m trying to say here 😃 Please Help ---

Can you set up a public app with your example in it ? Or make your app public ? It is often the best way to get help. I think is see what you are trying to do, so you probably want to set the default value to “this cell’s location”. ---

I took a quick look. At first glance, I think you need to send the current cell’s data to the pop-up when the edit icon is clicked. Workflow action: Element Actions \> Group: Display data. You should probably have this step before the show pop-up step. ---

i tried what you said but im not sure what to put in the data source ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/4/4d0a38f7cc1d49900cfdc977006fbb562dcd4035.png) ---

If I recall correctly from looking at your app earlier, I think it should be just Current cell’s Attendance. So you’re passing data from the current cell’s attendance to the pop-up, then, since you have it auto-bound, the location field can show that attendance record’s at-location value by default … I think. Sorry, hard to say without having your app in front of me again, right now, but do try that. ---

this is solved thank you so much guys for the Help… the solution is to **Display data Element = Pop Up ( Edit Information )** what i did before was set the element to the repeating group which is the test\_results then **make the Dropdown field Place Holder point to its Section or Column** like what you see on the image above Thanks Again ---
