How to change the default dropdown value

[rustinp77]

Hi Guys/Gals,

I've searched up and down however I couldn't find an answer to the problem I'm having...

I have created a module through builder and studio that makes use of a few drop-downs. Everything works very nicely however at the time of development, I was not aware of the drop-down values or the default value. The problem I am having is editing/changing the default drop-down value. Where can this be done?

Regards,

Admin->Studio->Edit Dropdowns

I'm not sure but the default value may just be the first item in the list so move your desired default to the top. Screws up ordering if you want it to remain in a certain order though

Ya... I've already given that a try and a few different ways. I remember studio asked me what I wanted for the default value which you would think would be stored to the vardefs but, I have no clue.

Search for: $app_list_strings['DROP_DOWN_NAME_default_key'])
It will apear in editview.php for replacemente and in one of this files(I think):
- custom/application/Ext/Language/en_us.lang.ext.php
- custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/en_us.MODULE_NAME.php
- include/language/en_us.lang.php

Ya... I saw that reference in EditView but, could never locate the $app_list_string['product_category_options_default_key'] anywhere. I believe I left the default value empty when I was building these... The funny thing is, it keeps defaulting to the value of 0 which is now started to make more sense.

You got me thinking... I'll try adding the default_key string and see what happens. I've been sitting with these modules completed for the past week, just couldn't find this wrinkle.

 $app_list_strings['product_category_options']= array (
  '' => '',
  1 => 'All',
  0 => 'None',
);
 
$app_list_strings['product_category_options_default_key'] = 1; 
  

Thanks...
