I am unable to add choice component in my form container, There is a field (Meter Location ID) in table where I can add choice component, but I am not sure reason behind this Note: MeterTable is not read only! ![AddChoiceComponentIssue](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/5/059f60dd16437a48dd1e94bf065ae5e9f444f811.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/2/b2eb74c0c2a0529acf81c6c4cf3fb304c142b6f4.png) ---

I don’t use large scale data sources, so I don’t have an answer, but what’s happening when you try to add a choice component that doesn’t work? ---

Does it let you add it outside of the form container and then allow you to drag it into the container? ---

Does it add inside a normal form environment (the show form screen action)? ---

Yes, it does work when we use a separate navigation tab. Below is a screenshot of a separate navigation tab that uses the METER TABLE as the source table for the navigation tab and the METER TABLE as the target table for the form container. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/0/30428bf19592f91a7ec50a34350d8424584c8214.png) ---

I guess I’m a bit confused here. So if you navigate to a details screen, and add a form container that targets the same table, then the choice component won’t show up, but on a separate tab with the same setup it works? ---

No, In separate tab setup is not same in separate tab (previous screenshot) Navigation tab’s source table was different, In the tab where I am able to add choice here Navigation tab’s source table (METER table) and form target table (METER Table) are same Same Source Table for navigation tab and Form’s Target table ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/d/9d2c0eae2ede6fc5d655acdad6495aaa817b4fa3.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/7/d70d5544730e977329c118d1a8db02dbebd06e04.png) Now different source table for navigation tab and different table for form’s target table ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/f/9ffc091ec6c67dde8abdd2435f5457eee7c5af93.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/b/fb34b86c404c07105f6a1516af5577bbce93c495.jpeg) ---

I think I still have the same question and something’s lost in communication here. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/8/18b4d4612940bf5d08ddf8f41a1e557a3ce3ac91.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/3/e3f24b676caa53d20f2821ac19d8f21c36cae0b4.jpeg) ---

**UseCase2 Tab:** First, I have a collection that is retrieved from the PropertyTableUsingQuery ![UseCase2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/6/26af6b5b73bf332ded904075385cfbada5a3f4f3.jpeg) When I click on any element in this collection, I navigate to the details page ![UseCase2.1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/1/d18695a758a2d762e609cc0fb7a353a0470ce46a.jpeg) ![UseCase2.2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/5/f5a72719270f31fbfa6470ebe79453c667872f59.jpeg) On this page, there’s an “Add Meter” button. When I click on it, a form becomes visible (this form is for the MeterTable). However, in this form, I am unable to add the choice component ![UseCase2.3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/b/3b6490434ab92f6bcfaaa831d5e6179490566ae1.jpeg) **PropertyUnitAndMeter Tab:** In the MeterTable on this tab, I am able to add the choice component ![UseCase3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/9/d97fa2640c901f9eb85029652d8e9f13c45ad757.jpeg) ---

If you copy the component from the **PropertyUnitAndMeter Tab** to the form in **UseCase2 Tab** , does it show? ---

Yes, it copied the component from the _PropertyUnitandMeter_ tab to _UseCase2_, but in both cases, it is not entering the _Meter Type ID_ in the database. Whether from the _UseCase2_ tab or the _PropertyUnitandMeter_ tab, it is showing that _MeterTypeID_ does not have a default value. Even after setting default value it is only entering default value and not the actual chosen value ---
