Dropdown in power app form displaying item number instead of option from Sharepoint list

[PowerflowNoob]

I have a sharepoint list that has a power app for user to fill out and add items to the sharepoint list.  The sharepoint list has a few columns that have choices for the user to select from.  The problem is, when you're using the form to select one of the choices it doesn't populate with the choices from the share point list.  It just shows Item 1, Item 2, Item 3 and so on.  Looking at the app the dropdown is point to the right place in the sharepoint list.

Thoughts?

Hello,

seems as the dropdown just displays the preset items 
Here how the preset items look like in a model driven app (modern control)

What did you enter into the "items"-property of the dropdown?

It's pulling from the Sharepoint list: Choices([@listname].policyarea)

Not sure what happened, but it's suddenly working without any changes being made.

Yes I had these problems sometimes myself.

That one thing was working and the next day it was not.

I had these troubles often with filters and lookup functions.
It seems as power apps is trying to reduce traffic, by loading only data Power Apps thinks that are really needed within the app.

It may help to explicilty refresh the datasource.
I never used choices as source for a dropdown.

Normally i hold all possible values in an self-created table, and use this datasource for the dropdown.

If you get troubles again with a choices it may be helpfull, to store the choices in a collection in the "On start" event. And than bind the combobox to that collection.
