I have a combobox which shows filtered rows from a Dataverse table. There are over 2,000 items which would be in the combobox. The IsSearchable property is set to true and it seems I can find everything I'm looking for however I had a user of the application bring up that they cannot scroll through through all items and they are right the scroll ends before you can get through everything. I am assuming PowerApps does not bring back all items, especially as there are over 2000, for performance reasons but can anyone confirm this is the expected behavior?

As a user, I don’t have the patience to scroll through 2k items. See if you can prefilter the the list somehow. Maybe using StartsWith().
Agree, I'm not sure why you would want to do this but I wanted to be sure before saying this is expected behavior. The data is already filtered and based on their requirements and they are not going to consider removing some of their choices.
Both ComboBox and DropDown (which is the basis for a ComboBox) have a relatively low limit on the number of items that can be displayed in the dropdown. For the DropDown the limit is listed in the documentation as 500. I suspect the visible limit in the ComboBox is the same. Search is the only way to access more. This is the expected behavior.
Sharepoint is not worth all the money my company pays every month, my kids would have written a better program! This limitation was fine for a Commodore 64 in 1980..... Considering that Microsoft is that of "if you don't have 5000 servers I won't consider you" .....
