Dynamic Dropdown Menu Population

I am using CS6 and Data Bridge 1.2.0

I have a dynamic dropdown menu tied to a recordset. On an update page, I need the menu to show the current value in the database table. I reference this link: http://www.webassist.com/forums/posts.php?id=35022&login=1&accesscheck=/forums/posts.php?id=35022

First and foremost, I do not have a "Set Selected in List". See screenshot. Please advise.

1) Set Selected in list is a Behavior and is on the Behaviors tab, not the Server Behaviors tab

2) you don't need to use Dynamic Dropdowns for this. use the standard Dropdowns dynamic properties.

highlight the l;ist in design view. In the property inspector, click the Dynamic button. in the select value equal to option, click the lightning bolt icon and select the corresponding column from the update page recordset.
