With the drop down lists it will go to the first entry after save and reload of SM even if its on the last entry, i think it still recognizes which one it is.

So for example if it was a delay and you had on and off in the list and you set it to on and saved then you reload the audio would play with delay and the main text would say on but when you went to change it would display off and not on. Thanks

I think this may be your schematic Tom. The Drop List doesn't save state, you need to provide it with the currently selected item.

Well i am using your example with a slight mod to it, if you use a AL to redraw on start up the text will display correctly and does anyway its just when i go to change it and the list displays wrong, i can probably send an example if you don't know what i mean.

I think I know what you mean Tom, when you say the list displays wrong you mean that the wrong item is checked? If so a schematic tweak is required.

If you're using the drop list example I posted a while back then you definitely need a schematic tweak because it was wrong 😉

To correct things connect the Selected Index output directly to the Set Checked Item input with no components in between. That should sort it.
