Dropdown list not showing correct default value

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Hi,

 

I cannot find the way to make a dropdown list show the correct value from its selected Item (attached in the screenshot). I need this dropdown to show all distinct values from a master table (NIST ejemplos implementacion) when the form is being filled, but at the same time, I want my dropdown list to display the Parent.Default value from the item that has been selected in view form mode. So:

 

Items property is:  Distinct('NIST ejemplos implementación'; Subcategory)

Default property is: Parent.Default (which grabs the value from another table, called "Autoevaluacion NIST".

 

If I check the value in the default property formula, it is right (see attached screenshot). But the dropdown itself would only show the first value from de table on the Items property, and wont change if I select any value from the gallery.

I have the same question (0)

    Set it to the value of the item rather than the parent.

    Hi @phipps0218  thanks for your reply,

    I tried ThisItem.Subcategory in the default property several times, it does not work though.  Maybe you can write the formula you are refering to. Attached the screenshot with ThisItem.Subcategory not working.

     

    Thanks

    No solutions?

    Maybe it is a bug, with Power Apps, I dont now when it´s me and when the program is not working properly.
