    Hello @sarahbrooks 

    I have the very same issue, unless my Data Type is an SP list muliple choices column.

     

    Did you find a solution ?

     

    Thanks.

    I encountered the same issue.

    By default, the DefaultSelectedItems property of combobox is [Parent.Default] which gives the the display value in unreadable format.

    Solution:
    Update the DefaultSelectedItems property and remove the "[]".
    The display text on the combobox will be displayed in correct format.
