The default value for the dropdownlist is not returned to the formoutputData, if nothing happened to the dropdownlist.

In UiPath\_render.js, the code

> 

```
                        if (re[1])
                            form.submission = {
                                data: JSON.parse(re[1])
                            };
                        if (re[4]) {
                            setDropdownDefaultValues(re[4], form, dropdownParentDict);
                        }

```

should change the if statements’ position.  
Looking forward the new version to fix it.
