When building multi-step IDP Software Templates, a later step's field (an API-populated dropdown, including multi-select checkbox lists) can't pre-check the options that match values already stored in form context from an earlier step. The field loads its full option list from the API correctly, but any matching value(s) captured earlier in the workflow aren't automatically selected, so users have to manually re-select items they already provided.

This shows up most in re-run or edit workflows: a user picks a set of resources in one step, that selection is saved to context, and a later step's picker (backed by the same or a related API) should come in with those same items already checked so the user only needs to add or remove entries rather than re-picking everything from scratch. Supporting this for both single-select and multi-select configurations would remove a real point of friction in multi-step catalog and resource-management workflows.
