I'm trying to get an option group to "remember" the last choice made with the form. If Option '3' was selected, then the next time the form is opened, the dot should be at option 3. My idea was to use the SetValue action to alter the DefaultValue property, setting it to the current choice of the option group. Yet setting the [DefaultValue] property (with full object path) of my [OptionGroup] to the current value of [OptionGroup] didn't work. Well, maybe it can't refer to itself while it's open, I thought. So I tried using some conditions and having SetValue assign [DefaultValue] a value of "3", for example. It's still not doing anything, the default is still 1. Can SetValue not work with the [DefaultValue] property? Or is there something about the syntax I'm missing?
