Hi Agnibha,

I have specially created a formula that you can directly use to fulfil your requirement of always setting a weekday on any input

Here’s the code snippet: 
Component:
<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes" access="global" >
    
    <aura:attribute name="ShowText" type="String" />
    <lightning:select aura:id="selectItem" label="Select an item" onchange="{!c.changeSelect}">
        <option value="">choose one...</option>
        <option value="Apex Controller">Apex Controller</option>
        <option value="Visualforce Page">Visualforce Page</option>
        <option value="LWC">LWC</option>
        <option value="Aura">Aura</option>
    </lightning:select>
    <hr/>
    <center>
    	<ui:outputText value="{!v.ShowText}"/>	
    </center>
</aura:component>

JS:

({
   changeSelect :function(component){
        var selectValue=component.find("selectItem").get("v.value");
        component.set("v.ShowText",selectValue);
    },
})

Hi Agnibha,

I've gone through your requirement and you can refer below code:

Lightning code:-->

<aura:component>
<aura:attribute name="ShowText" type="String" />
<lightning:select aura:id="selectItem" label="Select an item" onchange="{!c.doSomething}">
    <option value="">choose one...</option>
    <option value="1">one</option>
    <option value="2">two</option>
</lightning:select>
<ui:outputText label="Selected Value:" value="{!ShowText}"/>
</aura:component>


JS Controller-->

({
   doSomething :function(c,e,h){
        
        var selectValue=component.find("selecteItem").get("v.value");
         
        component.set("v.ShowText",selectValue);
        
        
    },
})



I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
