[Solved] How can I revert back my selection made to a Datasource Text?

[Devna]

Hi,
I have a dropdown list of say
-Fruits
-Apples
-Orange
-Nothing
-Banana

My initial selection is "Apples". When I select "Nothing" I can stop an event from doing anything but I want the display to not switch to "Nothing" but stay at the old selection say "Apples".

How can I achieve this?

Thanks and Regards
Devna

Hello Devna,

I would suggest you check the select event of the widget. It allows to prevent the selection, hence the previous selected value/text will stay. Here is a code snippet that shows how to prevent the event:

function dropdownlist_select(e) {
  e.preventDefault(); //prevent selection
}

Let me know if something is unclear.
