Using Registration Control to Set Dropdown Value

Question

I can use the Registration control to set a Text field, but I can't get it to set a Dropdown value.

I have a form with some connected fields and I'm trying to preset those fields to help new users coming from different departments who aren't yet familiar with the correct options to choose.

Basically I want to have different pages with the Registration control setting the values and then direct users from each department to their respective version of the form.

Unfortunately even when I enter the values in the registration control (field1=option1 & field2=option2), they don't show on the form so the users still need to select the values from the dropdowns which defeats the purpose of directing them to the different pages.

Any help would be appreciated.

hi @Tims Nire

Check the dropdown option values – make sure the values you set in the Registration control exactly match the internal values of the dropdown, not just the display text.

Use default value settings – if the form platform allows, set the dropdown’s default value dynamically based on the Registration control input.

Conditional logic – some platforms let you show a pre-selected option or redirect users to a version of the form where the correct option is already selected.

Is option1 is an ID of the option you want to set? You can set ID that corresponds to a label, also remove spaces around the &
