Can I set Choices fields to automatically select an option?

Yes, our Forms engine will auto-select a row on Choices fields provided the following conditions are met:

  • The Choices field is linked to a Data Source
  • The Choices field has Data Source filters defined
  • There is a single result/row in the Choices field

If you don’t want this auto-select behaviour to occur, then you need to either use Static options on your Choices field or do not filter the Data Source rows on it.
