Hi,

I’m using the following code, in the onReady function to try and add ‘ENGLISH’ as the first option in a dropdown list of languages but it doesn’t appear to be working?

let languageOptions = $w("#ddPrimaryLanguage").options;
    languageOptions.unshift({
        value: "ENGLISH",
        label: "ENGLISH"
    });
    $w("#ddPrimaryLanguage").options = languageOptions;

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rachel

What are you trying to use this for?

if you are just using a dropdown list, then you can do it yourself already my adding and moving the selections yourself.

If you are using it through Wix Multilingual, then you can also do it yourself already too.

I’m using it in a form where I have a dropdown for users to select their language. These are being pulled from a dataset but I would like ‘ENGLISH’ to be the first option in the dropdown.
