Set Radio Button Default Value in Power Apps Manually

Here, we will see how to set the Radio button default value in Power Apps directly.

Example:

1. Whenever you add a Radio button, by default, the Radio button values are 1 and 2. Also, the default value won’t be selected, and all choices will appear with an unselected option like below.

2. Then, in the Power Apps Radio button, I added items, i.e., [“Not Started”, “In Progress”, “Completed”] directly like below.

Items = [“Not Started”, “In Progress”, “Completed”]

2. But, If you want to set the Radio button’s default value while opening the Power Apps app, then you must set a default value in the Power Apps Radio button.

3. For that, select a Radio button control and set its Default property as:

Default = "Completed"

Where,

• “Completed” = It is the specific value that we want to set as the Radio button default value

Refer to the below screenshot:

This is how to set a default value in the Power Apps Radio button control.

Next, we will discuss how to set the Power Apps Radio button default value from the SharePoint list.

Example:

1. I have a SharePoint Online list named “Training Courses“. This list contains the Choice field column [Technology], and it has the following choices [“Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, SharePoint”]

2. In Power Apps, there is a Radio button control with the SharePoint choice field values, as in the screenshot below.

Items = Choices([@'Training Courses'].'Technology')

3. Now, I want to set the Radio button’s default value while opening the Power Apps app; you must set a default value for the Power Apps Radio button.

4. For that, select a Radio button control and set its Default property. Also, go to the Radio button Advanced properties and set the Default property as shown below.

Default = "SharePoint"

This is how to set a Power Apps Radio button default value from the SharePoint list.

Power Apps Radio Button Default No Selection

Let’s see how to work with the Power Apps Radio button default no selection.

Example:

1. I have a Power Apps Edit form, and there is a Radio button control having the values, i.e., [“Yes” and “No”].

Items = ["Yes", "No"]

2. When the user sets Power Apps Edit form Default mode as “New”, the Radio button default value won’t be selected (“”). Or else, when the user sets Power Apps Edit form Default mode as “Edit” or “View”, the Radio button default value will selected as “No”.

Refer to the below images:

To do so, select the Radio button and set its Default property to the code as shown below:

Default = If(
    frm_NewTravelRequest.Mode = FormMode.New,
    "",
    If(
        Parent.Default,
        "Yes",
        "No"
    )
)

Where,

• frm_NewTravelRequest = Power Apps Edit Form Name

This is how to use the Power Apps Radio button default no selection.
