Hello, I am trying to make a form which will auto populate fields after an initial selection: i.e. Select and course number will populate the fields for "faculty, course name, school, etc." I set up a data connection from a list and created a rule for the course number to 1. query the data source, 2. set the value of a field, and then 3. I filtered the value by course# in data source to equal course # in main. If I remove the filter the field will auto populate the first item in the list, but once I add the filter, nothing appears anymore. Any ideas why this might happen?

Hi hpmiller,

If the set value logic without filter is working, then the issue here is definitely on the filter you have been adding. Theoretically, your filter should look similar to this: field[2ndDataSourceValue = DropDownValue]. Could you also check the dropdown field's value? it may show a displayed value but the actual value is different. Another thing to check is the value from the secondary data source. Is the value equivalent to the values you are comparing it to? Hope this helps.

Regards,
