Edit Form - Combo box properties

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by LaraDanicaLim

I have a 'Period' field which is a single text column in my Sharepoint List.

In my New form and Edit form, this is a combo box. No problem with new form but in my Edit form, the stored value is not showing. I have already tried what copilot suggested but nothing worked so far. What could have been wrong with the properties? my Items is coming from a secondary list.

This combo box is single-select.

My Attachments also are not showing in my Edit form but is present in my View Form.

Items:'Period'



DefaultSelectedItems:If(
    IsBlank(Parent.Default),
    Blank(),
    Table(
        LookUp(
            'Period',
            Title = Parent.Default 
            
        )
    )
)


I'm always struggling with Edit form. I'm fine with new and view forms.

The issue is Table(LookUp(...)) — combo box can't match it back to your Items properly.

Replace your DefaultSelectedItems with this:

If(

IsBlank(Parent.Default),

Blank(),

Filter('Period', Title = Parent.Default)

)

Filter() returns the right table structure that matches your Items source. Also set the combo box Value property to "Title" if you haven't already.

Combo Box , DefaultSelectedItems is expecting the record type data item. so whenever if your trying to use the combo box for the view, which means, to show the data got save, you need to pass that as in record type.

just pass that as >

[selectedItme.Title]

I already found the cuplrit. It was because my FormMode was still in New instead of Edit.

Thank you anyway!
