Combo box is not showing record

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 831 Moderator
I have a combo box that is not showing the corresponding record value. The original data is from a Dataverse table but the data, in this case, is coming from a global variable that is populated by a gallery selection. I think the issue might be with some type of mismatch.
 
Here is what I see when I inspect the DefaultSelectedItems. As you can see there is a value for the Parent.Default. I just doesn't populate the combo box.
 
 
Other info.
 
The combo box is hard coded with values for the Items property. I think this the only thing that sets it apart from the other combo boxes that do populate. Could this be the reason why the combo box doesn't populate?

    The formula itself should work if the structure of Items matches {dk_emailsequencenumber: X}. If Items remains as a simple list [1,2,3,4,5,6], then the formula won't match, and you'll need to either adjust Items or modify DefaultSelectedItems to work with that structure.

    Modify Items to use records, try changing Items to match the structure expected by DefaultSelectedItems. For example, set Items to something like:

    [
      {dk_emailsequencenumber: 1},
      {dk_emailsequencenumber: 2},
      {dk_emailsequencenumber: 3},
      {dk_emailsequencenumber: 4},
      {dk_emailsequencenumber: 5},
      {dk_emailsequencenumber: 6}
    ]

    Maybe this will help solve your issue.

    Thanks. That didn't work. I guess an easy workaround would be to create a Dataverse table, with those 6 values, and use that for Items. It works for the rest of the combo boxes so I imagine it will work for this as well. Just thought there was something simple I was overlooking.
