Auto select the first element in a Single Select

IBM BPM 8.5.6 – SPARK UI 4.4.3.1 EE

We have a requirement that if the single select control only has one option in the list that we automatically select the first option.  Our single select control is populated by an AJAX service.  So on the “On Service Items” event, we’ve tried to use the following logic: if(me.getItemCount() ==2) {me.setSelectedItemAt(1);}  (Since the item count is 2 if there is only 1 value – from our testing.)   But the function setSelectedItemAt() does not seem to work with any index value 0, 1, 2, etc.  Is this broken or are we using this function incorrectly?

Hello,

I will only add, that problem occours only when I have hidden single select control and when I e.g. choose check box which when is marked for true value, single select in displays and instead of the placeholder, on single select is select first element. I don’t know where is problem. And as I wrote earlier, the bug occours only Internet Explorer browser. In Firefox and chrome averything is good but my client use Internet explorer browser. Please solve problem ASAP. This is very important for me.

Hi Martin,

I was able to reproduce this issue in our test environment and have opened a bug to be fixed in our next release.

While troubleshooting this issue, I noticed that if I placed the following statement in the Single Select’s On Load event, the issue was no longer reproducible:

console.log(me.getSelectedIndex())

Can you try this as a work around in your scenario?  Also, can you share screenshots with the details of your configuration such as Items from Config Option, bound variable and type?

Regards,

Stephen P.
