Setting Default Value of 'Hard-Coded' Choice Box from Gallery Selected

[Joel_Hill]

I have a Choice Box with 'hard-coded' Items such as ["Cat","Dog","Mouse"].  I am patching the value of that choice box to a single line text field in SharePoint list, such as 'Peoples Pets'.  Let's say I am patching the value to the field Title.

When the Power App opens, I have a gallery displaying all rows of data from Peoples Pets and the 'Created By' field showing.  If I do a Select.Parent on the row of data, I would like the Title displayed in the choice box to show the person what pet is associated with the Created By person.

How do I set the default value for the choice box in Power Apps if I am using 'hard-coded' items such as ["Cat","Dog","Mouse"]?

Hi @Joel_Hill ,

You could set it's DefaultSelectedItems property to:

{Value:ThisItem.'People Pets'}
