I am trying to populate a select control with the JSON results from a REST list service with one record. The select control has options which have been populated in the Appery user interface (rather than from the database). I have the proper field bound to the Selected attribute of the control, but when loaded the selection reflects the default rather than the item I am passing. I am using this form to Edit a user and their attributes.

Here is a picture of the options I have entered: I tried using ID's to begin with but made them both text strings to simplify.

Finally - here is a picture of the test interface. I added two labels and mapped the results to those as well, just to make sure I was returning the correct results. You can see from the picture that the fields are showing Monthly and Child and the Select controls are showing Daily and Parent.

I know this must be simple and I am clearly doing something wrong, but none of the documentation I could find shows how to do this properly. Thanks

Hello!
It's a bug, should be fixed in the next release (mid April). As a workaround in mapping to Selected property add the following JS pre$(element).val(value);/pre

Got it. A couple of questions on the JS:

1. Does the JS go in the select control's JS, or do I need to trigger it separately?

2. If my control is named role_select and the JSON result field is role_ID would the JS be $("role_select").val('role_ID'); or do I need to set a local storage variable and then trigger the JS upon success of the service?

   Thanks for your help

Add JS code in mapping, no need to change anything in code. Use it as posted above.

Thanks! Finally this works - you are awesome! The bug is not awesome
