Combobox Selected item no longer linking to other SharePoint list fields

Hi I have been building a canvas app to control some data in SharePoint lists. I have a selection screen using a ComboBox linked to a SharePoint list. It is single selection and has Double fields selected ["UniqueID"]'["ActivityDescription"] when clicking the drop down they display.

Throughout the rest of the app I have various code that uses the ComboBox2.Selected.("various fields") Example ComboBox2.Selected.RevisionCode which display in text boxes, used to Patch other lists or Set variables. All was working fine until yesterday and now something has happened.

The only change I made to the list was I added the inbuilt SharePoint Version column to the allitems view which I have now removed again but still not working.

I manually updated some variables to see if I could get the patch function to work and the only 2 fields that patched across are the 2 fields selected in the Double ["UniqueID"]'["ActivityDescription"].

I have removed and re added the list through the data section and no change.

I have created a new page within the app and added a new ComboBox and Text label connected to the same list and I am still getting the issue where it will only display the fields that are included in the ComboBox. This is the text property for the Label.

"Activity Description: " & ComboBox3.Selected.ActivityDescription & "RevCode: " & ComboBox3.Selected.RevisionCode & "COWR: " & ComboBox3.Selected.COWR

In this example it does not display RevisionCode or COWR text.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hi @Tucker76

Let's try to help, just as a fyi if you go to far into what you did and start going all over, it just confuses the stuff. hehe not to be mean, we don't necessarily need to know what you did since we didn't see the code before 🙂 but we do appreciate all the info 🙂

Did someone turn on the feature Explicit Columns??? If they did, then it won't download all the columns, just the ones being used.

Thats my first guess, if you didn't change anything.

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

Thank You

Hi @Tucker76 ,

There are issues currently with Power Apps release 3.2064 (and possibly 3.2063) - see this thread. @FLMike is on target with the Explicit Column Selection - you need to disable it as per the screenshot in the thread. You can also revert to 3.2061/62 and it fixes the issue.

Thank you very much. I disabled the Explicit Column selection and made no difference. I then reverted back to a power apps version that was working it all starting working again. Thanks for the help
