Combo box items not selected

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 2
Hi.
 
I'm having trouble with a multiselect combo box.
I am setting the DefaultSelectedItems property to a table that contains values that are strings that match items in the combo box. The items look like they are selected, but when the user clicks to select more items, there are no actual items selected in the dropdown section of the combo. 
 
E.g. the combo has items A, B, C and D.
DefaultSelectedItems is set to table X that has values of A and B.
The user sees that, apparently, A and B are already selected and uses the combo to also select C.
When the data from the combo is saved only C is saved when I want A, B and C to be saved.
 
I would appreciate any suggestions to help me overcome this problem.
 
Mark.

    Which type of column are you saving the Selected Items to?
     
    If its a Text column, you can use the following to save all your ComboBox selected items:
    If your ComboBox is in a form then the Update property of your DataCard should be:
    Concat(
       ComboBox1.SelectedItems,
       Value, 
       ","
    )
    If you are using a Patch function:
    Patch(
        DataSource,
        ThisItem,
        {
            txtField: Concat(
                ComboBox1.SelectedItems,
                Value,
                ","
            )
        }
    )
     
    Hope this helps. 
     
    Kind regards, 
    Nandit
