I'm sorry - I don't understand the question you are asking?

nope, no defaults... the problem has been resolved (somehow). I removed the data source from the 2nd dropdown and then re-bound the control to the Contact List again, and it's working now.

Looks like rules have to be set first. Any thoughts on this account?

Sounds like you may have a default value for the Discipline field? In the data source task pane, right click the field and select properties to see....

Problem with "Rule runs when field changes"

Here is my scenario - I have 2 data connections: one is just a list of Disciplines and Lead people; second is a Contact List (just Names). I also have 2 fields "Discipline" (dropdown list populated with data connection 1 info) and "Lead Person" (dropdown with all "Names").
When Discipline field selected/changed, rule runs that sets "Lead Person" value depending on selected Discipline. I can also change "Lead Person" value by selecting another name from the dropdown. But regardless what is saved, when I run the form, "Lead Person" value changes back as if the "Discipline" field has been changed. I realize that my text is kind of foggy, so here is the example

Sharepoint list has an entry: Discipline = "Administration"; Lead = "John Smith", so when I select "Administration", the Lead dropdown selected value changed to "John Smith"
Then I select another name in the Lead dropdown, let's say "Mary Brown" and click Submit Form. Saved values Discipline = "Administration"; Lead = "Mary Brown"
Then run the form again and after loading I have Discipline = "Administration"; and the Lead is "John Smith"? Why? Looks like the rule runs on Form Load as well
