Posted on by 20
I am trying to retrieve semicolon separated multiselect lookup value from single line of text in EditForm combobox default selected items, but the values are not retrieved properly.
 
May i know what is the issue here?
 
Single Line of Text column value
fXXXXaa-XXX-f011-XXXX-XXXXX;f7XXX5aa-0d73-XXXX-XXXX
 
Combobox Default Selected Items
ForAll(
    Split(
        ThisItem.'Account (Text)',
        ";"
    ),
    LookUp(
        'Account',
        Account = ThisItem.'Account'.Account
    ).'Account Name'
)

    Try to save the result of the split in a variable first and loop through that like this:
     
    With(
        {_selectedAccountNamesCollection: Split(ThisItem.'Account (Text)', ";")},
        ForAll(
            _selectedAccountNamesCollection,
            LookUp('Account', Account = ThisRecord.Value).'Account Name'
        )
    )
    Let me know if this works.
