Adding default item to List Collector choices

[Jeff Shaevel]

I have a catalog item in Madrid where someone can multi-select Departments from that table into a list collector. Since I have the Department of the Requester in another field already, I'd like that to already appear selected in that list. The display in Madrid isn't the two-bucket system, but a line of choices with "x" to remove. I've looked through forums and I can't get anything referencing the buckets to work, nor do I see anything in the documentation. If, for example, using my personal instance as a guide I wanted "HR" to show pre-populated as a selection in that list collector, what is the appropriate way to do this? Thank you.

I suppose I have one more question: If I wanted to remove a specific selected item from the list collector, what would I do? Do I have to save all the values and then add back everything except the one I want to remove or is there a function to take care of that? Thanks.

Hi,

Please see instructions like this: https://love2dev.com/blog/javascript-remove-from-array/

Ah, I just needed to know that it's stored simply as an array. I was getting confused by instructions that were equating this to more complex slushbucket and have been trying to reconcile conflicting articles. Simpler than expected. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hi, no problem.

Slushbuckets are just the "containers" the arrays are in...left side being all available selections pulled from a referenced table...right side being what has been selected thus in a separate array really.

Please mark any other reply as Helpful, if it was.

Thanks!
