Hi.

I have a Canvas App Page inside a Model-Driven App Solution. I have a function as follows:

 

ClearCollect(SitesDropdown, SortByColumns(ForAll(Sites, {SiteId:Site ,Position: Value(SiteCode), SiteCode: SiteCode, Description: SiteCode & " - " & Name}),"Position",SortOrder.Ascending));
 
This has 807 entries, but I am only seeing 800. My Settings has been updated to allow 2000. I have no idea what is causing this as when I view the Collection by clicking on it it has all 807 records. I messed about with screen size and this definitely has an impact on what is displayed. 
 
Can anyone help?
 
Thanks.
John.

    Hi @johnguilbert191 ,

    This is a limitation with the modern controls used in custom pages. This is the same experience for the modern drop down control in standalone canvas apps.

    2 options:

    1) open a standalone canvas app. Add a classic dropdown control. Copy & paste it into your custom page, 
    or
    2) consider open source component libraries, such as this one from Luise Freese & Robin Rosengrun

    I noticed this limit of 800 in the Modern Combobox. It's not driven by the app data row limit. The tricks with:

    - Filter( MyTable , cbx_comboboxname.SearchText in MyColumn ) or 

    - Search( MyTable , cbx_comboboxname.SearchText , MyColumn ) did help with search in the Modern Combobox but the items  beyond the 800 that did show up in the dropdown were unselectable/unclickable.

     

    Switching to Classic Combobox helped. It doesn't look as nice but it does the trick. The entire table.column (in my case 3,600 items) is searchable and selectable.
