Smart Forms: Auto-select from a dropdown of coded domain values

luckachi — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 19:57:25 GMT

I am wondering if it is possible to have a form field auto-select based on the logged in user. So far I haven't been able to get anything to automatically select an option based on the logged in user - the field just stays blank even though when I run the calculated expression it returns what I need.

Field Type is string

Input type is Combo Box

Domain list has numbers as the code but its stored as a string

Update - I got something to work but it only works if the field is not editable. Is there a way to make it editable but still use a calculated expression?

What I am trying to accomplish is selecting a group name based on the logged in user, but in some cases, I wonder if they may do work for another group so the option to change that might be necessary.

Hi @luckachi,

At this time, fields in forms can either be calculated, or editable. There are some ways to get around it (like this one), and we are working to provide a straight forward option in the future for those who would like to include fields that are both calculated and editable.
