Preselect option in dynamically filled Dropdown

[gebuhl]

It is possible to select an option in a prefilled dropdown.
But how can I select an option in an dynamically filled dropdown?

I still made tests with prefilled and dynamically filled dropdown, but only the prefilled dropdown will show the selected option. The dynamially filled dropdown is giving me the output, but the option is not shown on the UI.

Yes by feeding in msg.payload with the value of the selection you want pre selected

e.g.

[{"id":"55f374bb.7d3eb4","type":"inject","z":"7760f563.ea0324","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"options","v":"[\"one\",\"two\",\"three\"]","vt":"json"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"two","payloadType":"str","x":170,"y":2120,"wires":[["318c812a.d34f46","a3703f7a.e5aee"]]},{"id":"a3703f7a.e5aee","type":"ui_dropdown","z":"7760f563.ea0324","name":"","label":"","tooltip":"","place":"Select option","group":"165e1e1a.e752fa","order":1,"width":0,"height":0,"passthru":true,"multiple":false,"options":[{"label":"","value":"","type":"str"}],"payload":"","topic":"","x":280,"y":2200,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"165e1e1a.e752fa","type":"ui_group","z":"","name":"Default","tab":"f9b58883.fa613","order":1,"disp":true,"width":"12","collapse":false},{"id":"f9b58883.fa613","type":"ui_tab","z":"","name":"Home","icon":"dashboard","order":1,"disabled":false,"hidden":false}]

I already tested.
I works with prefilled dropdowns, but not with dynamically filled ones:

my example was dynamic , not prefilled.

Edit/
Your flow works for me and test 3 and test 4 are preselected when i look at dashboard.
