DROPDOWNBOX Subfile issue

I am using dropdown boxes in a subfile. I am populating them in the RPG program. The dropdown boxes are being populated correctly. The problem is only the first subfile record is displaying the first value of the dropdownbox when the subfile is first displayed. The rest of the subfile records have blank dropdown boxes until a selection is made.

Is there a way to make each subfile record show the first value in the dropdown boxes when it is first displayed?

Thank you.

We are able to recreate this problem. Our development team is looking into it. I can update you when a fix is available.

In the meanwhile, you should be able to work around by specifically selecting the first option for each subfile record. This is done by moving a value into the subfile field bound to the "value" property of the drop-down which matches one of the drop-down choice values before writing the subfile record.

I have tried this method already and it is this method that puts a value in the first subfile record. Going through debug, it shows there are values to the dropdown box for each subfile record written just before writing the subfile record. But the only record that shows a value when the subfile is displayed is the first record.

I dont know what is preventing the values from being displayed for the other records since there are values in output fields when the record is written.
