Default Selected Items Combobox Edit Form Multi Choice SharePoint Add Values Manually

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

I have a Choice column in SharePoint with the options "Can add values manually" and "Allow multiple selections" set as true.

I have a combo box in the Canvas App with the following properties:

 

Default: ThisItem.Test //Let's call it "Test"

 

Update: ForAll(
cmbTest.SelectedItems,
{
Value: Title,
'@odata.type': "Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference"
}
)

 

DefaultSelectedItems:

 

If(
glbFrm = 1, //If the Form Mode is New
Filter( // Sets as default selected items the ones filtered from a different SharePoint List, according to the filter
'Test List', 
Category.Value = glbCategory
),
RenameColumns(Split(lblTest.Text,";"), "Result", "Title") //As a workaround, I've placed a label where I split ThisItem.Test.
)

 

The combo box only works in the NewForm Mode, presenting correctly the default selected items. When in EditForm, no default selected items are shown.

 

Also, is it expected not to be recorded any choice on the SharePoint column, as users select options on the combo box and submit the form?

I've tried several approaches but haven't succeeded so far. Can anyone help me here?

 

I'd appreciate your help on this.
