Value IDs showing instead of labels in a form dropdown using initial data

  • Goal: Have the human-readable text labels show in an edit form select dropdown instead of the ID value.

  • Steps: I've tried setting the default value to be a string version of the selected item's ID.

  • Details: The issue exists when opening an "edit" form to edit an existing record of data. The form utilizes initial data from a collection's selected item. The selected item attribute (e.g., scenario_id = 10) is the initial data and should prepopulate a select dropdown that uses a query to populate its values (i.e., IDs, numbers) and labels (i.e., display text). The dropdown shows the value (i.e., 10) instead of its related, mapped scenario name (i.e., Magneto). This was working just a few months ago and I'm wondering if an update created this bug. This is happening to all of the form's dropdowns that use a query.

Hi @nateyj,

Thanks for reaching out! :thinking: That does look buggy. The same set up on my side doesn't reproduce this issue yet.

Would you be able to share an app JSON export with me?

Since I'm a new user, I'm unable to upload attachments. What's the best way to get this to you?

Hi Tess,

Attached is the export. I'm not able to do it online, because I'm a new user, so I'm seeing if responding via email will work.
