None of my dropdown list preselected value selections will populate on my forms (yes I am only choosing one preselected value for a dropdown list).

The weird thing is that it is picking the first item in the list (I would expect this), but if I add an item to the front of the list it does not pick this item, it continues to pick the item that was originally at the front of the list. (yes if have cleared my cache/history etc when testing this, it also does it in multiple browsers).

Is anyone else having this type of problem? Have you fixed it?

I'm having the same problem although it does work correctly for the Country drop down which doesn't make sense.

I'm having this same problem. For a Male|Female dropdown, only one choice is selectable. This is really disconcerting.

Support responded to my ticket superfast. Here's the solution for anyone who hasn't figured it out yet.

"You need to set your selection limits. For every available choice...you need to give a selection limit. You have just one "0" in the limit field. DTRegister reads that as unlimited for the FIRST item...and NONE for the rest of the items...so you can't select them because the limit has been reached.

IF you have three items to choose from, then in the selection limit...you need to put 0|0|0. So all three items have unlimited selections."

Thanks b612markt, my problem isn't not being able to select the drop down options (I have zeros for all my limits), my issue is that the drop down list does not pre-populate the selection that I want it to.

For example in the list of states, I would like my state to be the preselected option in the list, but it won't preselect the option that I have picked for it :cry:
