Good morning to all,

Another thing I don't understand about powerapps.

If I refer to the link below,

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/Searchable-Drop-Down-control/idi-p/45475

it is possible to have a search window in the drop-down lists.
For some reason I don't know, when I select drop-down list in one of the fields of my edit form and I select drop-down list. I do not have a search module in my drop-down list.

Would you tell me why?

thanks

Dropdown controls do not have a search capability. You will need a Combobox in order to be able to search.

I hope this is helpful for you.

I actually saw this right after my message.
Thank you for your reply
I do have a comment, however, about the difference between "inputextplaceholder" and "default".
I don't understand why default sends me an error "Expected record value".

thanks for your help

That image is what I was looking for on first reply.

So, you do have a combobox...that will allow searching.

Next, you are trying to set the Default property on the Combobox...which does nothing. The only Default formula that is of value to the Combobox is DefaultSelectedItems.

You MUST supply records to the DefaultSelectedItems of a ComboBox, In your formula, you are supplying a Text value...this will not work.

Your formula on the DefaultSelectedItems property should be:

Coalesce(LookUp(TAG; TAG_ID=LISTEPRODUCT.Selected.ID_TAG); Parent.Default)
