Selected combobox value saving to SP list, but not showing up in saved custom form

Hi Community,

Need some assistance to troubleshoot why the selected value in a combobox is not saving to a custom form. Value is saving to SharePoint list.

In the "Custom form" print screen I expect to see "C" in the "Application name" column.

Thanks in advance for reading.

Hi @kaz01 ,

I am assuming field names a bit here, but your DefaultSelectedItems should be something like

{'Application/Product': ThisItem.'Application name'}

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

@WarrenBelz I am getting this message back.

Application name value looks up Application/Product from Platform test table

Application/Product is a single line of text column.

@kaz01 ,

You can ignore that message, but it looks like you need

{'Application/Product': ThisItem.'Application/Product'}

Essentially the first part if the field name displayed in the Combo Box and the second the field name from the data source it needs to display.

@kaz01 ,

Can we please take a step back here - you only need two values and I cannot see your data

{TheFieldTheComboBoxDisplays: ThisItem.TheFieldInYourList}

Hi Warren,

I tried the following, with these results.
Tried scenarios:
{'Application/Product': ThisItem.'Application name'} Results: no change
{'Application name': ThisItem.'Application/Product'} Results: Error message "Name isn't valid. Application/Product isn't recognized.
{'Application/Product': ThisItem.'Application/Product'} Results: Error message "Name isn't valid. Application/Product isn't recognized.

Both Application name and Application/Product columns are single line of text.

They come from two tables. Helpdesk test and Platform test.

Formula i'm using in Items
