Best way to echo user web form inputs

by UXStackExchange on July 3, 2017 in uxstackexchange

I want to build a "simple" one form web app over a data resource. I'd like to know best practices to echo the user's control (dropdowns, checkboxes, etc.) picks. IOW, after the form reloads, should it match the controls to the user's picks? Would it work better to show a text string of the pick values on the form instead? The second way seems better because it would not change when the user makes changes in the controls.

Thank you!
