## Overview

| ## Example Lab Details |

| **Version** | 6.9.2 |
| **Root Folder** | Example Lab - Set Default Value On Drop Down List |
| **Modules** | None |
| **Dependencies** | None |

This Example Lab project demonstrates how to set a specific item from a drop-down list to be selected by default.

---

## Explanation

This Example Lab project has a Flow that uses the **Get All** step to get all user accounts for the current user. These accounts are then output to populate a drop-down list in a Form. Use the 'selected folder' Form input to select which item on the list that will be selected by default. In this example, that input takes in whichever account was the last on the list and selects that item by default.
