Applying selected="selected" to a child:channel_field select box
I'm trying to convert this code I used in my categories:
{exp:channel:categories channel="product" style="linear" category_group="2"}
<option value="{category_id}"{if category_id IN ({low_search_category})} selected="selected"{/if}>
{category_name}
</option>
{/exp:channel:categories}
to work with this setup...
<select name="child:product_accessories">
<option value="">All</option>
{exp:channel:entries channel="accessory" dynamic="no" }
<option value="{entry_id}" ({low_search_category})}selected="selected"{/if}>{title}</option>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</select>
In essence, just trying to apply selected states to a select dropdown using playa relationships instead of categories.

I've narrowed it down to this:
<option value="{entry_id}"{if entry_id IN ({low_search_parent:product_brand})} selected="selected"{/if}>but need it to work with child instead, which it doesnt.
<option value="{entry_id}" {if entry_id IN ({low_search_child:product_accessories})} selected="selected" {/if}>Low 22 Feb 2013 23:40
This should work:
{if entry_id IN ({low_search_child:product_accessories})} ... {/if}If it doesn't, try this:
{if '{entry_id}' IN ({low_search_child:product_accessories})} ... {/if}If that doesn't work, send superadmin login credentials to hi at gotolow dot com so I can take a look myself.
