Can I use JavaScript to call the selectFirstChoice property for a dropdown?

[andrewtrobec]

Hello,

I'm looking to force a dropdown to revert to its first choice using JS. I already have a dropdown on my dashboard with id dropdown, but I don't know how to select it and set the selectFirstChoice property with JS. I've found examples that show how to create a new dropdown input, but in my case I have an existing one and I'm just trying to set selectFirstChoice to true.

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks!

Andrew

Hi

Check this sample

<form script="dp.js">
  <label>dropdown_js</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="dropdown" token="choice" id="dp">
      <label>field1</label>
      <choice value="one">one</choice>
      <choice value="two">two</choice>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
</form>

js:

require([
"jquery", 
"splunkjs/mvc", 
"splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!"], function($, mvc) {

var dropdown = splunkjs.mvc.Components.get("dp");
dropdown.settings.set("selectFirstChoice",true);
});

@vnravikumar this is exactly it! Thank you so much! I was almost there. For anyone who is interested, I was reading this documentation: https://docs.splunk.com/DocumentationStatic/WebFramework/1.2/compref_dropdown.html
