I have tab container and each tab contains a dropdown value.

The customer is able to go back and forth between tab but if they do this the original selection on the dropdown is not persevered. Is there any way to preserve the dropdown value on navigation?

You can see on the first image that I have selected 110Ah for the battery selection. Once I go to the next tab and then come back this has been unselected as per the second image.

Does anyone know how to keep these values as I go between tabs?

Thanks in advance

Make a ‘On change’ workflow for the select and store the input value to a variable

Bind this variable to the init value in the select
