I have an input field that I am trying to populate by clicking on the table, and its values would go into the searchbar/ dropdowns, etc. I am trying to populate the ID search box but when I click on it, the Name gets populated instead. When go into the binding it clearly shows that it is getting the ID, and when I close the editing window, the search box corrects itself to the actual ID. I checked the configuration explorer and there are no other bindings on the search box that should be causing this.
Right click the view and there is an option for "Configuration Explorer" and "Find/Replace selected Views". Either of those may help.
Please add the relevant 'perspective' or 'vision' tag to your question title. The answer depends on which module you're using.
Your post is rather confusing. There are four "another"s with no clues as to how they're related or where the bindings are or what they are.
Major rewrite required.

Sorry about that, I have made edits to make it more clear
More than likely you've set the entry field to defer updates while focused, which tends to break applications where non-input components are trying to write to input fields.
I am not the one who made this, I am trying to fix what someone before me has made. Where would I be able to change this?
In the properties of the entry field.
I found the field and tried toggling it but it did not fix the problem. I do not think there is a problem with the code but was wondering if there is a way that something is binding to the searchbox and assigning it a value instead of the binding on the searchbox assigning itself the proper value.
I am very new to ignition as I am trying to figure out how things can work
I found the field but it did not fix it
Finding the field won't fix it.
Please be precise with your writing. Use screengrabs if it helps provide context. Show formatted code if you think there is a problem with code.

Do as @jacob_geers suggests to see if there is anything referencing the drop down's name that could be setting its value. Also please show how selecting something in your table is setting the value of the drop down. Lastly can we see the dropdowns configuration with how your options are setup. With Ignition there are many ways to do a thing, without seeing what you have we cant offer much to help.

I am unable to share a screenshot due to the nature of the data and privacy policy at my workplace. That is why I was being rather vague earlier as well. I recognize that it makes it difficult to help but I am unable to share anything more specific
