Hey Guys,

I added a choice component to my UI, Usually when I add them I get default value option

Today when I added I couldn’t see the default value option.

Is there any specific reason?

Regards,  
Dilip

You only get the option to set a default when it’s used in a native form.  
In this case you’re using it on a details screen, so you don’t get the option.  
If you want a default, what you can do is set that with a Set Column Values action as the “form” is opened.

Thank you for the help Darren,

I have two actionable Items in the screen on click of either of them I am setting the value now.

It works now.
