How to set the correct stored value in a select menu?

[Teodor]

There is no external connection in your case. Your file is being pushed to the server and the connection is made from there.
It would be the same if you save your connection details - the result will still be an error. If the connection is fine in Wappler it will also be the same on the server and vice versa.
