Hi, lets say im have table with data and when im click on selected item opens that items single page to update info, and im stuck with dropdowns, in item info im have status field (in DB as text), and dropdown won’t get current value in DB and show it, if im connect to same value text field or input field everything fine, but im need dropdown because dropdown list connected to other predefined dataset. How to make that dropdown get current value and display it?

Hi Sergey,
If you wish to filter items in a dropdown element while it’s connected to DB you can use setFilter method.
In case you want to change the items in the dropdown, first you need to disconnect it from the dataset and set the values manually by code.

Good luck!

All i need is like in picture, but at this time im can’t get dropdown to show current value in DB1, notice that current value must be selected from DB1, because if i want update info how do i know what value is in DB, placing additional text box for reading current value is not comfortable for interface.
