Combobox-DefaultSelectedItems

[Cel87]

Hi All,

Please help as i've been stck on this for the last month.

My combobox is not showing the default value. I can see it in the command line but it doesn't display on the combobox itself.

Items = SortByColumns(AddColumns('EAP - Locations Queensland',"FullLocations",Concatenate(Title,", ",State,", ",Postcode)),"Title")

It displays the values when I have a new form and save. Its when I go back into it and 'edit' form that it doesn't show the value in the combobox. 

PLEASE HELP!! 😭

Hi @WarrenBelz,

Mine doesn't give me that visual. Would it be because I'm using the modern control view?

Yes located in QLD

@Cel87 ,

Ahhh - that explains it all. I suggest you go back to a classic control for now until these are properly sorted. I am also in Qld (Rocky)

@Cel87 ,

I have had a play with this control type and what I posted for the DefaultSelectedItems works with the correct field name and I need you to tell me the field name displayed in the Combo Box by default. It clearly is not Title (or the code I posted would work)

@WarrenBelz You were right the first time. I tried entering in the 'classic' combobox and that worked. 

Thank you - Thank you - Thank you so much..I've been wreaking my brain over this **bleep** combobox for the last month.

I guess there's no fix for this problem but to revert back to the classic view for the combobox?

Hi @Cel87 ,

Happy to help a fellow Qlander. There are many things different in the Modern Controls - I probably need to spend more time working out the differences, but I have yet to find anything they do much better than classic items and quite a few apparent deficiencies, particularly in more complex areas. I may have a different opinion later, but right now if you want a solution to your issue, what I provided should work.

I assume this is now solved ?

@WarrenBelz From one Qlander to another - Thank you so much. It took a whole month just to finally figure out that it was the modern controls itself and not me.

Yeah I think I'll make this as complete. I'll use the classic view for this one field. All the others were fine using the modern control. The visual is a little dicey. But I need this published this month.

Thanks again and if you do find a workaround solution for the combobox modern control do let me know.

Have a great weekend 🤗

@Cel87 ,

I actually had a modern control working here, but I need the field name that is displayed in the Combo Box.

[Cel87]

@WarrenBelz thats awesome. Where would I need to go to get the field name. I'm not sure what you mean by field name? (sorry beginner powerapps so need a little dirrection)

[WarrenBelz]

@Cel87 

When you select from the combo box, you have a list of values to choose from - what field is this coming from ?

[Cel87]

@WarrenBelz list is choosing from is the concatenated new column we created in the items property called FullLocations.

Items = SortByColumns(AddColumns('EAP - Locations Queensland',"FullLocations",Concatenate(Title,", ",State,", ",Postcode)),"Title")
