Get default value of a selectbox variable using sys_id

[prabhmeet]

Hi,

I have a lookup selectbox variable 'Type'  in my catalog item. It is looking up values of a field from a table. Suppose it has two values 'one'  and 'two'.

I want that on RITM and Catalog task forms the variable's default value should be 'two'. 

So in the default value tab In the 'Type' variable, I have used the sys_id of  'two'. But this is not working.

Please help!

Thanks

In the Variable form of Type, In Type Specifications set

Lookup value field - as Sys ID

Lookup label field(s) - to display name

Ex- 

In Default Value, give the sys id as you have mentioned earlier

Hope this helps!

I have done exactly this what you are saying, the table name, field and sys_id but it is not working.

Do you have any idea why?

Deselected the checkbox - include None?

What is displayed in the dropdown ?

Hi rad,

 the two values are coming up - 'one' and 'two' with 'one' as default.
