And the default value will be appeared in the drop down until you select a value in the drop down. If you want to show a value in the drop down when the user selects blank value then add a rule to the drop down list to set the drop down list value to some value with the condition as drop down list is blank.</p>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/39118.aspxTue, 03 Mar 2009 16:41:05 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:39118Graeme0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/39118.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=39118<p>I am trying to filter a ddl and set the default value&nbsp;based on a value in the form at loading.&nbsp; The values in the ddl come from an xml file.&nbsp; I&#39;ve got the filtering working except that there is always an extra empty item in the list. On first starting there is even the number 2 in the list for some reason - this disappears once I select an item.&nbsp; How can I set the default display value and get rid of the extra blank item?</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p>
