# Issue when Pre-Populating Drop Down Fields

 * Hi Adrian,
    Another really useful plugin, thanks! I just noticed a funny phenomenon
   I thought you might want to look at.
 * I added drop downs to my list with two options: “Work” and “Off”. I prepopulated
   the list using the code on your site:
    [https://www.itsupportguides.com/knowledge-base/gravity-forms/gravity-forms-how-to-pre-fill-list-field-fields/](https://www.itsupportguides.com/knowledge-base/gravity-forms/gravity-forms-how-to-pre-fill-list-field-fields/)
 * I noticed if I pre-populated my list with “Off” the list duplicated the “Off”
   value and my dropdowns now had three options: “Work” “Off” “Off”. If I swapped
   the order of my dropdown choices so “Off” was first I no longer had the problem.
 * Not a big deal as it’s working fine now that I’ve changed the order of my dropdown
   options but I thought I’d pass it along so you were aware.
    Thanks!

 * Thanks for reporting, should be fixed in the update I just released.
 * Let me know if it still happens.
 * = 1.7.3 =
    * Fix: resolve issue of duplicate values when pre-populating field
   using the gform_field_value_$parameter_name filter * Maintenance: improve handling
   when options are removed from a form (in the form editor) and the entry is accessed
   later from the Entry editor * Maintenance: tidy php (use object notation for 
   $field)
