Is there a way to have a conditional dropdown select the option if there is only 1 available.

You have a relationship where 1 Work Element ha s Many Project Codes. Use a combined Text Summary field to float up the Project code to the Work Elements Table.

Convert it to a text field using the ToText function.

Then use a form rule to say when the Work Element is not blank and the MMS project code is blank, change the MMS Project Code that combined text Summary Text field.
