I would like a choice box to auto populate if the induvial creating the intake is a selection in the choice box.  Example, choice contains A, B, and C.  The person creating the intake is person A the choice would auto populate with A, but if the person is X then X has to choose A, B, or C.

  • In a formatting rule for your choice box, if Current User=='person A' then disable the choice box.
  • In a validation rule for your choice box, if Current User!='person A'&&{Self}=='' then the control is invalid.
  • In a workflow that starts when the item is submitted and Created By is person A then set the choice field to A.

Effectively person A will not be able to set the choice box - it will be done for them by the workflow.  Other people will see the choice box as a required field.
