Powerapps - using a text field to populate Dropdown list

Posted on by MG-15081625-0 4
I am creating a management page to allow managers update dropdown lists
 
 
When I have a Dropdown I can set the "Items" setting to 
 
["Breeze","Champion","Chinook","Cyclone","Jewel","Kompasu","Kona","Leveche","Mistral","Njord","Pali","Santanna","Sirocco","Slim","Spiro","Triumph","Tyfung","UNO","Vortex","Zephyr","**Other**"]
 
The dropdown works fine.
 
 
In the management page I created a field 
 
When I use this [DataCardValue74.Value] in the dropdown list Items  I only get the one line 
 
 
Can anyone help make this into the drop down as if I hard coded it?
