Hi, I have a table that uses an embedded view containing a dropdown list. When I change the value in the dropdown, it updates initially. However, after scrolling the table and then returning to that row, the updated value is lost and reverts back to its original state. I will be thankful. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/6/66f62e5e0526cd4f94bab367e4364594dd54bff1.png) ---

Are you using virtualized rows? If so, rows out of sight are destroyed for speed and re-created when needed. ---

I have a table with a column called **"Type of Item"** that allows users to change its value using a dropdown. The dropdown correctly displays the available options from the table, and when the user changes the value, it appears to update. However, once the user scrolls the table and the row goes out of view, the changed value disappears when the row comes back into view. We cannot save this change directly to the database immediately, as the update should only be applied after another button click event. How can I ensure the changed value remains visible in the table until that event occurs? ---

Just a tip for next time: If you don't understand the answer, ask for clarification in a straightforward way. If that answer contains a question, try to answer it, even if it's just to say that it's unclear to you. Otherwise, it just looks like you're not paying attention to people trying to help.
