Empty field gets populated after submitting of form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 14

Hi Team,

 

I have this problem when I submit a Form, an empty dropdown field (a choice column in sharepoint) which I intentionally leaves blank gets auto populated after I submit the form. The value that it provides is the value from previous submission. 

1. I already tried Resetting the form before editing the form - didnt work

2. I already checked my sharepoint list source if there is a default value - there is none. 

3. Tried to recreate the form - same thing happens

4. Tried checking powerautomate if is affecting the field - but there is none. 

 

 

Update: Modern Form does not accept blank value for dropdown field. How to go about it, when the field really needs to blank? tried to add " " in sharepoint to be a blank choice, but not working in Modern Form. 

 

 

Hope you can help me.

    Hi @jlestervas_ 

     

    use a single select Combobox  🙂 , add the combobox, then turn off multi-select if its on, then it can be blank. Dropdowns dont allow blanks.


    If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers
