Hi,

this is possible but the method depends on the method you populate the dropdown list.

An example:
You have a ddl and populate it on enter:event from an array stored in a variable named "MyDdlValues".
Therefore you use a for loop that pushes the values from the variable into the ddl.
In this loop you can add an if-expression that also checks the values and sets the matching one as default value.

var arrayItems = eval(MyDdlValues.value);
	for (var i=0; i < arrayItems.length; i++) 
		{
  	  	this.addItem(arrayItems[i]);
  	  	if (arrayItems[i] == "Lorem Ipsum")
  	  		{
  	  		this.setItemState(i,1);
  	  		}
		}
