Hello everybody:
I’d appreciate your help with this issue. In an attended automation, I show a form that receives a list of strings to populate a dropdown. But I don’t find a way to define a default value from the given list. Any ideas?

The image shows a dictionary item configuration in a UiPath workflow, connecting a key "ciudad" with a list of strings variable "listCiudad" of type . (Captioned by AI)

As of now that option is not there…it would by default pick the first value as default…so as a workaround which ever value you need as default…make that item as the first one in the list

Thank you @Anil_G it makes sense what you suggest, but for some odd reason it does the opposite

My bad i checked and yes its the last item it is picking always…we had a similar situation in one of the processes…and default galue property in backend is not getting reflected even if we set it manually so we had to go this route

Cheers
