Dropdown list

Hi,

I have a dropdown list in Mathcad. I have sections in it and it calls in some of the required section properties under it.

Unfortunately whenever I close and reopen the file, the list jumps back to the very first item and forgets what I had chosen before.

I have tried to protect the area but didn't help.

Could anyone tell me how can I fix it to remember my choice?

Thanks in advance,

Viktoria

I submitted this example to the old Mathcad Collaboratory a long time ago and it was featured in a Mathcad Express article. I can't find the old article on-line any more, but here is the Mathcad file, updated for Mathcad 15, demonstrating how to create persistent controls using the metadata in the file. I use this technique quite frequently for files that need to maintain their control states.
