        @if (Model.Priority == null)
        {
            <option></option>
            <option style="color: green;" value="Green">Green</option>
            <option style="color: orange;" value="Amber">Amber</option>
            <option style="color: red" value="Red">Red</option>
        }
    </select>
</div>

For something like this. Is there a simpler way to do this? I’m quite new to razor syntax

Havent tried anything

>Solution :

If you pass an expression to an HTML attribute that evaluates to false or null, the attribute is not rendered at all.

   <select style="width:100%" asp-for="Priority" class="form-select">  
      <option></option>
        <option selected="@(Model.Priority == "Green")" style="color: green" value="Green">Green</option>
        <option selected="@(Model.Priority == "Amber")" style="color: orange" value="Amber">Amber</option>
        <option selected="@(Model.Priority == "Red")" style="color: red" value="Red">Red</option>
    </select>

But actually, you shouldn’t need to set the selected attribute value at all. By assigning a value to Model.Priority, the select tag helper will do it for you because you set the asp-for attribute to that property.
