ThisItem.Status = This formula uses scope, which is not presently supported for evaluation. Data type: text

[NewBee117]

In a gallery I try to use ThisItem.Status as the default value for a text box, however, getting error: "ThisItem.Status = This formula uses scope, which is not presently supported for evaluation. Data type: text". Any idea why? I tried to change it to display a different field (for example, Segment), and it works. In the database, all are nvarchar(255). Any idea why?

Hi @NewBee117 ,

I solved this warning message by re-creating my data source.

The root cause of my issue was that I added a new column in the data source (a Sharepoint List) AFTER I had added said list to my Power App. As soon as I had re-created the data source in Power App, it could detect the new column and the warning message stopped appearing.

Switch(ThisItem.Priority,'Priority (Project Tasks)'.Normal,Color.DarkRed,'Priority (Project Tasks)'.High,Color.DarkOrange,'Priority (Project Tasks)'.Low,Color.DarkGoldenRod)

Hey, I also faced this issue for Priority Columns. The Above code is correct one and this solves that issue. The Status may be OptionSet have many Choice values. We can not give the text value directly to compare. instead we need to use appropriate entity value. in above code, Priority is column name. and Project tasks is an entity name. Normal, High and Low is an Choice value. before, I use -----  ThisItem.Priority="Normal" -----> It shows "This formula uses scope, which is not presently supported for evaluation". After I changed into this ------- ThisItem.Priority='Priority (Project Tasks)'.Normal. The issue is Cleared.

So try like this, I hope this solves the issue.

I have the same issue:

Filtered collection is the source of the gallery. In the preview there are multiple columns, CreditSharedInboxText, ID, Region and many more.
Source for collection is Sharepoint list. ID is number, the rest is text field.  

However when using ThisItem in gallery, ID and CreditSharedInboxText does not work. Region, userName, userEmail and others does work.

I was having the same issue, no matter what I did it would not display the "Value" of the field. "ThisItem.'Type of Fund'.Value" was always blank. All the other text boxes using the same syntax displayed correctly, they were all using the same data types, and same "Scope" of "ThisItem", but the Values weren't appearing. 

I deleted the troublesome text box and tried recreating it -- Insert->Text Label -- Set the Text to the field I needed ("ThisItem.'Type of Fund'.Value") and it worked. 

Such is life with the delightful Power Apps platform.
