This is a great option. The only issue I am having is the user accidentally selecting “Select…” and then submitting the form to a single line of text. Any suggestions to avoid this?
You can stop "Select..." from being stored with your record in several ways. One way would be to add this to your validation rules. If you are not sure how to do this then I have a video on how to implement validation in Power Apps - th-cam.com/video/SYUAlSHBpsU/w-d-xo.html. Another way would be to trap it when you are saving your record by using an If function within your Patch statement.
Great tip, that solves something I've scratched my head about several times :) You would then need to do some logic, that ensures "Select..." is not a value that's 'saveable' to your actual data, right?
really GREAT video Chino! i have one question: with 2 or more dropdown menù i have to create the relative statements in OnStart as many as they are, right ?
Thank you. It is really useful
Sos el uno, gracias
Hi, how do you select an item in the dropdown using a value from a text label. Thanks
Not sure if that is possible.

Hey Magnus.. yes that's right..you need a little bit of logic that detects "Select..." and treats it as blank or a non-select
thank you for the video, the crd96_name is not working for me, if I add that record, the dropdown menu doesn't show any value
really GREAT video Chino!

Yep
Thanks Chino, was a great video. Could you please show how we can do the same in model driven power apps.
Should be similar principles
Hi Chino! is it possible to set default value based on two other dropdown lists?
Yep
When I insert the semicolon to separete the new collector occour an error
Did you work this out?
what if i want to set the value to blank not any other text
Did you try and use space or null?
How do i set a default value for powerapps gallery, i tried Lookup(mycollection, columnname = "value") this didnt work
Not sure what you mean by default value for gallery? Like you mean default records the Gallery shows? Use Filter() in that case.
