But if the only option is Material in some cases, I&amp;#39;d use a rule to set fieldB to Material and just hide the dropdown all together and display a calculated value. See attached sample. Right click and save the file locally, right click the saved file and select design. Preview, select Option B in the first dropdown.</description></item><item><title>Force dropdown value based on value selected in another dropdown</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124700.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Feb 2022 17:41:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:124700</guid><dc:creator>lou d</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124700.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&amp;PostID=124700</wfw:commentRss><description>Hello,

 Not sure if this is cascading dropdowns, or if I need to create an XML data source, but I have two dropdowns, i.e, Dropdown A and Dropdown B.  Dropdown B has only two values in the list - Material and Non-Material.  If the user selects a certain value in Dropdown A, I want to force Dropdown B to default to a value of Material.  If the user selects any other value, i want to provide the user with the ability to select either Material or Non-Material (i.e, just leave the second dropdown alone).  I don&amp;#39;t know if I need to use XML data source, or if there is a simple way to do this with rules.  Thank you for any assistance.  Lou</description></item></channel></rss>
