Select current item in dynamic form

I created a dynamic page for activities, so I could create activity categories. I added a dynamic form to the page with two select drop downs. I would like to select the current item in (at least one of the) two select boxes upon load, so I can hide them, but the value is added on submit.

The signups are submitted to in another dataset, but I want them to be connected to the right activity obviously. The first select button writes to the signups database, to a reference field that contains all the activities. That is why you see all of them in the drop down.

The second select button pulls from the activities dataset (with a limit of 1, that is why it pulls the current activity, since it is on that specific activity’s page) and posts to a text field.

The reference gets lost of course by posting to a text field, so I would prefer the first select button to automatically select the current item, without the user having to go through the list and select it manually (while he/she already is on the page of the activity they want to sign up for).

Thanks a lot.

You can get the current item from a dataset using wix-dataset API. Click here to learn how.
After that, you can set the value of the dropdown to be that item. Click here to read about changing the value of the dropdown.
