Combobox - DefaultSelectedItems

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 21

Hello!

 

I have been working on a forms and I have in total 4 Comboboxes. For example, the source of one of the fields is a Sharepoint list and the formula i'm using is :

 
Distinct('Suppliers List';Supplier)
Suppliers List = name of the Sharepoint list
Supplier = name of the column
 
When I'm filling the form, everything works fine, but when I want to edit a answer after it was sent, the value of the comboboxes disappear. I'm not allowing multiple selection.
 
By reading some answers here, I think it's some formula on the DefaultSelectedItems I need to insert, but none of the formulas that were suggested in the community worked for me.
 
My fields Default, DefaultSelectedItems, DisplayFields and SearchField are empty. Don't know if I should fill them with something.
 
Thanks in advance for any help I can get!
