Default dropdown selection based on UserID

[Mikey]

Hello, I have a drop-down field in a form that is using the user table as the lookup to assign a task. The form works as expected, but I want a way where the default item in the drop down list (the drop-down uses the user table for values) is the user who is selecting the task assignment. They can change it of course to someone else, but by default I want it to show their name from the user table..

 

Any suggestions?

Use the On Load feature, and on load the Authentication Field that stores their name
