Defaulting to blank on new for dropdown

Posted on by mthiru_0023 212

hello community,

I have a File list and a Invoice list in SharePoint. I have customized the forms using powerapps. In order to create an Invoice, the Firm name and file number has to exist in the File List. 

 

I have a dropdown control in the Invoices for the Firm name and items property defined as per below.

Invoices - Firm name: ForAll(Distinct('File Summary', FirmName), {Result: ThisRecord.Value})

Invoices - Firm file: Filter('File Summary', FirmName = dd_FirmName.Selected.Result).

 

On New, the Firm Name keeps defaulting to the firm item in the File List. I want to make it so it is blank on new, on edit thisitem (record)
