Flag the Selected Dropdown Value Using the Formula Tool

[courtneyq]

Can anyone please provide input on why the [#2] variable is pulling an unknown variable result? I'd like the result to have all the options listed and a specific column labelled "Selected" that outputs the value selected from the dropdown.

[#2] is a field/variable - see attached... also made your dropdown dynamic.

you could swap the action tool to update value with formula and use:

'"'+[#2]+'"' in your expression...

btw - it's weird that your tool is creating this as [#2] vs - [#1] - I assume in testing you had a prior connection which you deleted...

@courtneyq - can you accept this as a solution?
