Hi!
When drafting condition can you select a default option? Such that in the event no selection is made that would be the default?

Yes, definitely!

The default option is implemented by using an ‘else’ leg as the final leg of the condition, e.g.:

{#agreement^jurisdiction = "NH": New Hampshire | "DE": Delaware | else: New York}

So in the above condition, “New York” will be the output if either of the following applies:

  • any output other than “NH” or “DE” is entered; or
  • no output is entered at all.

So the “New York” text will also be shown if no selection is made (yet).
